Align, a leading international provider of technology infrastructure solutions and Managed IT Services, announced today its inclusion on the 2025 Tech Elite 250 List by CRN, a brand of The Channel Company. This marks the second CRN award for Align this year, following their earlier recognition on the 2025 CRN MSP 500 list.
The annual Tech Elite 250 list recognizes solution providers in the U.S. and Canada that distinguish themselves through top-tier certifications and specializations in key technology areas, including artificial intelligence (AI), infrastructure, cloud, and security.
To assist customers through the ever-increasing complexity of IT and the emergence of advanced technologies like AI, the solution providers on this list maintain rigorous training and certification standards with leading IT vendors, achieving the highest levels in these vendors’ partner programs. This includes strategic service providers, systems integrators, managed service providers, and value-added resellers, all committed to their clients’ success.
Over the past year, Align Managed Services has shown its dedication to delivering best-in-class managed services and cybersecurity solutions. From the addition of new features to Align Guardian, its Managed Detection and Response (MDR) tool, to the implementation of Microsoft Copilot 365 as an integral part of its Managed Services offering, these enhancements ensure that Align Managed Services clients have the tools they need to thrive.
“We are honored to be recognized once again on the CRN Tech Elite 250 list,” said Vinod Paul, President of Align Managed Services. “At Align, we are committed to investing in our people and our solutions to deliver best-in-class managed services and cybersecurity. Over the past year, we’ve made significant improvements to our Managed Threat Protection and SOC services, reinforcing our leadership in protecting clients against the constantly evolving cyber threat landscape.”
“Congratulations to the solution providers on CRN’s Tech Elite 250 for their dedication to achieving top-level certifications and expertise in these critical technologies,” said Jennifer Follett, VP, U.S. Content, and Executive Editor of CRN at The Channel Company. “These companies are committed to expanding their knowledge to consistently provide outstanding IT solutions that help their customers succeed.”
