Company ranked number three on the Fast Growth 100 2011 list
Philadelphia, Sept. 26, 2011—Transcend United Technologies today announced that Everything Channel has named Transcend to the CRN Fast Growth 100 list. The list recognizes the fastest-growing solution providers inNorth America. Companies on the Fast Growth 100 list average a two-year revenue growth of 130 percent and average annual sales of products and services of $172 million. The ranking is based on two years’ growth of net sales, from calendar year 2008 to calendar year 2010.
“The past two years have been an exciting time for the Transcend team; not only have we been growing at a rapid pace, we’ve also been expanding our capabilities and offerings to address our customers’ needs,” said Rick Hirsh, chief executive officer, Transcend United Technologies. “To be named as one of the industry’s elite solution providers is further validation of what we’ve been hearing from our customers for years. And as more and more companies are looking to cut costs but not sacrifice customer service, we’ll continue to be there to meet the demand for high-quality, affordable technology for IT and communication infrastructures and managed services.”
On the heels of a two-year sales growth of 407 percent, Transcend continues to grow at an extremely fast pace. In late 2010, Transcend United joined forces with Spectrum Solutions and then in early 2011, Transcend United merged with LiquidSpoke to create one of the nation’s fastest-growing unified communications technology resellers.
“This year’s Fast Growth 100 list reflects the high growth potential for solution providers offering innovative products, solutions and services,” said Kelley Damore, vice president and editorial director for Everything Channel. “Despite an uncertain market, VARs[investing in new technologies and services are still growing at a significant rate—a testament to their hard work and ability to truly understand their customers’ needs. We congratulate Transcend United Technologies on their well-earned success.”
