CRN assembles solution provider lists and rankings throughout the year, including the Solution Provider 500, Tech Elite 250 and Fast Growth 150. CRN recognizes the 65 solution providers from all of North America that earned a spot on all three lists this year with the annual Triple Crown honors. BlueBridge is the only Ohio Company in the list.
Congratulations to Bluebridge Networks, which has been featured on CRN’s Triple Crown Award list for 2025!
This recognition is reserved for an elite group of companies named to three of the most prestigious CRN lists in the same year: the Solution Provider 500, the Fast Growth 150 and the Tech Elite 250. This is an impressive achievement that demonstrates these solution providers’ extraordinary business acumen, focus on innovation and dedication to technical excellence.
Opportunity and uncertainty have been the watchwords of the business environment for solution providers over the last year. Opportunity thanks to the rush of AI technology development that continues to remake the IT industry and spur demand for new IT products and services. Uncertainty due to economic anxiety, ever-shifting tariff policies and geopolitical concerns that have solution providers making continual course corrections as they manage their business.
Despite these challenges, many solution providers have successfully grown their businesses, both organically and through acquisitions, over the last year. They have expanded their technology and service offerings to meet customers’ rapidly changing needs. And they have developed expertise—and won IT vendor certifications—in AI, cybersecurity, cloud computing and other critical technology segments.
CRN publishes a number of solution provider lists and rankings throughout the year including the Solution Provider 500, the largest solution providers operating in North America by revenue; the Fast Growth 150, ranking the fastest-growing solution providers; and the Tech Elite 250, a roundup of solution providers that achieve the highest partner levels and certifications from leading IT vendors.
Each year a number of solution providers accomplish the impressive feat of making all three lists. This year 65 solution providers, profiled in this slide show, achieved that trifecta to become the 2025 class of CRN Triple Crown winners.
As with so much of the IT industry and the channel, the AI explosion is having a major impact on the solution providers that make up the Triple Crown list.
