PRESS RELEASE

Melbourne, Australia – For the eighth consecutive year, blueAPACHE have featured on the CRN Fast50 list and retain the exclusive honour of being the only IT service provider to have secured a ranking on every CRN Fast50 since its inception. It was also blueAPACHE’s third CRN All Star award.

Now in its eighth year, the CRN Fast50 has been a barometer of performance since 2009, a time of unprecedented change in the IT channel. This year the average growth rate of the top 50 companies was a staggering 75.87 percent, the fastest since the awards program began.

“It was one of the most competitive years we have ever seen in the eight-year history of the CRN Fast50. I take my hat off to the fifty incredible companies in this year’s list. To achieve a place in the CRN Fast50, technology providers had to outpace the non-stop IT industry”, said CRN editor Steven Kiernan.
