The 25 Top Solution Provider Companies: 2022 Solution Provider 500
Rick Whiting
CRN’s 2022 Solution Provider 500 list ranks the top VARs, integrators, service providers and IT consultants with operations in North America by revenue. Here are the top 25 companies on this year’s list.
No. 1: Accenture
2021 Ranking: 1
Top Executive: Julie Sweet, CEO
Location: Chicago, Ill.
Accenture held onto the No. 1 position on this year’s CRN Solution Provider 500, a spot it captured in 2021 from long-time No. 1 IBM Global Services.
The IT systems integration and consulting services giant reported $50.5 billion in revenue in 2021, up 14 percent from $44.3 billion one year earlier.
While some of that increase is due to organic growth, a significant factor in Accenture’s growth has been its aggressive acquisition strategy. In 2021 Accenture bought more than 50 companies (up from 30 acquisitions in 2020) as the company sought to expand its expertise, its service offerings and its geographical reach. The acquisition spree has continued into 2022: Just between March 24 and April 22 Accenture bought six companies.
