Second Annual Award Recognizes Standout Solution Providers 

Lexington, MA, November 13, 2015 – Daymark Solutions, a leading integration and solutions provider of information technology in New England, announced that it has been honored by The Channel Company with the esteemed 2015 CRN^® Triple Crown Award. Fewer than 60 North American solution providers, and only 5 from New England, had the necessary revenue, growth and technical expertise to be recognized on three of CRN’s preeminent solution provider lists, earning them the Triple Crown Award this year.  

CRN assembles lists and rankings each year to recognize solution providers who are setting the bar in the IT industry, including the Solution Provider 500, which lists the largest solution providers in North America by revenue; the Fast Growth 150, which ranks the fastest-growing solution providers; and the Tech Elite 250, which recognizes solution providers that have received the highest level certifications from leading vendors.

It is a considerable achievement for a solution provider to make any one of these lists. To make it onto all three, however - as this year's Triple Crown Award winners have done - a company must simultaneously have enough revenue to be ranked on the Solution Provider 500 list, record double- or triple-digit growth for recognition on the Fast Growth 150, and invest heavily in top certifications to attain Tech Elite 250 status.

“We are honored to be awarded with CRN’s Triple Crown Award this year,” said Brian Casey, Daymark’s General Manager and COO. “We’ve built a business centered on trusted partnerships with our clients. Our customers know that we are committed to maintaining the deepest level of technical expertise to help them meet their business challenges and navigate the many disruptive technologies in the market.” 

"I am continually amazed by the commitment to excellence demonstrated by the solution providers that drive the IT channel," said Robert Faletra, CEO, The Channel Company. "The companies that have earned this year's CRN Triple Crown award are truly among the industry's elite, showing the depth and breadth of sales, technical and marketing expertise to earn recognition on our premier lists. We congratulate each of these leading solution providers and look forward to watching them thrive in the future."

Showcased in the December issue of CRN, the Triple Crown list can be previewed at crn.com/triplecrown.

Funds Raised for U.S. Veterans Suffering Mental Trauma and Brain Injury

Lexington, MA, July 28, 2015 – For the 6th straight year, Daymark employees supported “Run to Home Base” an event committed to helping veterans suffering from mental trauma and brain injuries. This year’s event took place on July 25th.

The annual event, dedicated to healing the “invisible wounds of war,” consists of a 9k route through the streets of Boston with the finish line at home plate in historic Fenway Park. All funds are donated to New England veterans and their families affected by combat stress and traumatic brain injury. Over 2000 people participated in this year’s event, which raised over $1.5 million, and this year, ‘Team Daymark’ was 22 members strong.

"I am sure those who had the chance to meet some of the veterans who were there on Saturday, and listen to the keynote from a returning veteran, understand why this is such an important and impactful cause. It is so easy to get caught up in our own little worlds and forget about those that have given so much for our freedom and opportunity here in the USA,"  said Brian Casey, General Manager and COO at Daymark. “Each year our commitment and fundraising increases. To date, our team has raised over $50,000 for this worthy cause thanks to the generosity of our employees, friends, suppliers and partners.” Anyone wishing to donate can do by visiting the Team Daymark Donation Page.
