eGroup , a provider of cloud, application and end-user computing services headquartered in Mount Pleasant, S.C., has been named to CRN's annual list of the Tech Elite 250. This is the fourth consecutive year eGroup has been recognized by CRN, a news, analysis and perspective site backed by The Channel Company.

Companies on the list represent an elite group of IT solution providers that have invested in the training and education needed to earn the most advanced technical certifications from leading vendors.

In compiling the list, CRN editors worked with The Channel Company's research group to define the most customer-beneficial technical certifications in the IT channel. These technical certifications – from vendors including Cisco, Citrix, Dell, EMC, HP, IBM, NetApp, Microsoft, VMware and Symantec – have enabled solution providers to deliver the most premium products, service and support to their North American customers.

"At eGroup, we are proud of our technical services delivery team, who not only work tirelessly at delivering remarkable outcomes on behalf of the customer, but continually 'burn the midnight oil' furthering skills and achieving advanced vendor certifications," said Mike Carter, principal of eGroup. "We're honored to be featured once again on CRN's list and delighted that the investments we're making in our own team around training and education continue to pay off."

eGroup was also a winner of the 2013 CRN "Tech Elite 250."

" The solution providers highlighted on our annual Tech Elite 250 have demonstrated a commitment to excellence and gained industry credibility by investing in the IT certifications necessary to stay competitive and deliver the highest level of service to their customers," said Robert Faletra, CEO of The Channel Company. "These featured solution providers have enhanced and strengthened their partnerships by earning some of the most difficult certifications from some of the biggest names in IT."

Coverage of the Tech Elite 250 will be featured in the April issue of CRN, and online at www.CRN.com .
