June 1, 2009 - VARBusiness, a publication of Everything Channel, has named American Digital #492 on their 2009 VAR 500 List - a growth barometer for Value Added Resellers. See entire list at http://www.crn.com/var/main/2009vb500.jhtml
After 15 consecutive years of steady profitability in selling IT infrastructure solutions, American Digital earned their place on this year's list after showing a significant increase in net revenue by 53% from 2006 to 2008.
As a US-based, privately held solutions provider, we attribute this substantial growth during an overall poor economy to the expansion of our Professional Services practice. American Digital invested in adding additional senior staff engineers and grew their services portfolio to include a variety of data center assessments like Virtualization Capacity Planning, Virtualization Health Checks, Server/Storage Consolidation and TCO analysis. The investment paid off with a 130% growth in services revenue for 2008.
In a time when data center efficiency is paramount and optimizing IT spend is critical, more and more IT decision makers are realizing the value of strategic planning with infrastructure experts like American Digital. Rob Olson, ADC Chief Technology Officer stated, “We’ve experienced a shift within our customer base. Customers are starting to move from thinking of American Digital as their go-to partner for their short term IT needs and now are including us in their long term IT planning. With expansion of our engineering team, we are more than capable to provide this level of service.”
Also contributing to American Digital’s growth over the past 2 years is the opening of new sales offices in Indianapolis, Indiana and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. (Additional article in this newsletter.) American Digital President, Norbert Wojcik Jr. stated, “We intend to replicate the model of success that we have achieved in Illinois for the offices in our newest geographies. We’re pleased to offer new customers experienced HP resources within their local geography and we will continue delivering better IT solution analysis, fact-based TCO assessments and significant product discounts.”
