Continuum among Elite List of Best Vendors Named by the 2112 GroupContinuum®, the IT management platform company, has been named among an elite list of Best Vendors for 2015 by The 2112 Group based on feedback from the solution provider community. In addition to Continuum, seven vendors in total were named Best Vendor for 2015 including HP, Cisco, Dell, Microsoft, IBM (News - Alert) and Lenovo. Every year, as part of vendor performance research, The 2112 Group asks solution providers to name the vendors they admire most for high channel performance in terms of program quality, products and consistency in execution. The 2112 Group is the leader in channel strategy and partner enablement. "Continuum has done a masterful job of transforming itself into a multidimensional enabler of managed services," said Larry Walsh, CEO and chief analyst of The 2112 Group. "The quality and value of its products, services, support and enablement have propelled its recognition to that equal with the largest and most established vendors in the industry. Continuum being named among the Best Vendors by solution providers in The 2112 Group's Channel Perceptions study is a testament to the excellence of its products, services and team." The 2112 Group named Continuum as the standout surprise with the company's appearance on the list as a reflection of the affinity it has built with its MSP user organizations. Continuum supports a partner base of 3,500 MSPs - and growing - servicing more than 50,000 of their SMB customers. Research by The 2112 Group finds that companies on the Best Vendor and Most Admired lists often have the most engaged and loyal partners in the channel.
In November 2015, solution providers were asked to name their most admired vendor, best vendor and worst vendor regarding relative value to their businesses. Relative value is a reflection of the strength and importance of their relationships. Solution providers were not given aided responses for the three rankings. They were simply asked to name their top three vendors in each category. More than 100 vendors were noted by the 151 participants in the survey.
