Comm Solutions, a technology and security solutions provider in Malvern, now has something in common with Yankees legends Mickey Mantle and Lou Gehrig.

They’re all Triple Crown winners.

Whereas Mantle and Gehrig set the standard for hitting homeruns and clearing the bags in baseball, Comm Solutions has proven to be equally adept in its field, knocking it out of the park when it comes to providing support in the IT industry.

Consequently, CRN, a brand of The Channel Company, has honored Comm Solutions with its esteemed 2016 Triple Crown Award. Fewer than 60 North American solution providers 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 the following lists and rankings each year to recognize solution providers who are taking the bar to new heights:

• Solution Provider 500: Lists the largest solution providers in North America by revenue
• Fast Growth 150: Ranks the fastest-growing solution providers
• Tech Elite 250: 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 — is an outstanding achievement.

“We are thrilled to be recognized by CRN as a Triple Crown Award winner for the second consecutive year,” said Paul Black, CEO of Comm Solutions. “We’ve been privileged to continually improve our rankings within the CRN lists and increase our revenue year over year, all of which can be attributed to the continued expansion of our ‘best of breed’ security solution offerings, the commitment of our employees, and our loyal customers.

“As the needs of our customers have rapidly evolved, Comm Solutions has met their needs by developing more robust security and infrastructure solution offerings. It’s the hard work of our talented team that has enabled us to positively impact more customers each year, and which will continue to guide us into the future.”
