The annual CRN Fast50 awards were held in Sydney last night, and blueAPACHE becameone of only two companies to have ever received the award six years in a row! blueAPACHE (at number 44 in 2014) shares this accolade with Advent One (at number 45).

“We are incredibly humbled” said Chris Marshall, Managing Director of blueAPACHE. “Being awarded the CRN Fast50 a record six years in a row reinforces that we are on the right track. “When we first launched our 100% Australian Cloud environment five years ago, some questioned our strategy. When we transformed this into IT as a Service (ITaaS) by investing heavily in technologies to have 100% influence over our offering, those questions became more vocal. Today, we are one of the very few companies that can offer true ITaaS with complete accountability – no third party aggregation, no being tied to third party SLAs.” Mr Marshall continued, “Our continued recognition from CRN helps to validate this commitment to helping our customers reinvent the way they approach their technology needs. Industry congratulations have been flowing in since the announcement, including Julianne Bean from HP Storage ; “Well done blueAPACHE! If any company deserves to be recognised for their continued innovation, it is you!” NEXTDC added “Big congrats goes to NEXTDC partner blueAPACHE for a place in the CRN Fast50 for the 6th year running!” The annual CRN Fast50 awards are the leading Australian IT industry awards honouring the 50 best resellers, systems integrators and managed service providers in the country.
