The market has shifted and lucrative opportunities for VARs have changed--from hardware sales to networking, to storage and security, to hosted models and the emergence of the cloud. Smart VARs place their bets on technologies early on and some grow and flourish as a result. The CRN Next-Gen 250 highlights the up and coming VARS that have recently entered the market with a smart and different approach to solution selling and integration.

"In today's competitive environment VARs have to do more than just talk about innovation. The ability to quickly implement new processes, models and technologies is what drives margins and the bottom line," said Kelley Damore, VP, Editorial Director, Everything Channel. "The CRN Next-Gen 250 highlights the most interesting new VARs who are demonstrating such innovation and uncovers the new techniques and technologies that are driving their success."
