CLEVELAND, OH--(Marketwire - March 05, 2013) -  MCPc, Inc. today announced it has been named to CRN's third annual list of the Tech Elite 250. Companies on the 2013 Tech Elite 250 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 in the IT Channel for data center or cloud.

In compiling the list, CRN editors worked with the UBM Tech Channel research group and a team of outside experts to define the most customer-beneficial technical certifications in the IT channel. These technical certifications have enabled solution providers to deliver the most premium products, service and support to their North American customers.

MCPc's more than 140 solution architects, engineers and account managers together hold approximately 1,200 certifications from Cisco, Dell, Citrix, VMware, NetApp, Microsoft, HP, Apple and other technology leaders. At the corporate level, MCPc holds several advanced partner certifications, including Cisco Cloud Builder, Cisco Advanced Borderless Network Architecture Specialization, several Dell cloud and storage certifications as well as many others from top providers.

"The 2013 Tech Elite 250 list recognizes an exclusive group of solution providers that have invested in training and technical know-how to help their customers understand the benefits of some of the most sophisticated technology deployments in the market-and have shown a dedication to helping customers innovate while reducing costs," said Kelley Damore, senior vice president, editorial director at UBM Tech Channel. "By identifying and adapting to the skills and training needed to best serve today's customers, members of the Tech Elite 250 have proven their commitment to delivering the products and services that today's customers value most."

"MCPc made a commitment several years ago to build expertise and capabilities in advanced technologies like virtualization, cloud and mobility," said Mike Trebilcock, MCPc chairman and chief executive officer. "This elite designation from CRN serves as validation for those efforts. We look forward to growing as a leader in this space and continuing to be a trusted advisor to our customers as we all move into the cloud era."
