CALGARY, Alberta (March 13, 2017) — For the fifth straight year, Long View (longviewsystems.com), one of North America’s most powerful providers of Hybrid IT solutions and services was honoured with the prestigious Canada’s Best Managed Companies designation. The 2017 Best Managed program recognizes the best-in-class of Canadian-owned and managed companies with revenues over $15 million demonstrating strategy, capability and commitment to achieve sustainable growth.
“We are thrilled to once again be awarded with Canada’s Best Managed Companies designation,” says Kevin Crowe, Executive Vice President of Strategy at Long View. “Our employees driving value and outcomes for our clients via our innovative solutions are key to our continued success. To receive this award for the fifth year in a row is a great honor and strong validation that our strategic direction is correct. This is great recognition for the amazing people on our team and the world class partners we get to work with.”
Over the last 36 months, Long View has pivoted to build solutions underpinned by partners such as Microsoft, Cisco and Hewlett Packard Enterprise but defined and differentiated by Long View. Solutions such as OneCloud, which provides companies with hybrid cloud-based solutions, and Ultimate End User Experience that improves workplace productivity for employees while reducing organizational IT costs are all backed by an unsurpassed Long View managed service experience.
In 2016, Long View won Microsoft Canada’s Hybrid Cloud Innovation Impact Award in partnership with Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Cisco Canada’s Collaboration Partner of the Year award and was named a Major Player in Data Centre Operations and Management by IDC MarketScape. In February 2017, Long View announced its placement on Gartner’s Magic Quadrant as a Niche Player for Managed Workplace Services in North America.
“We couldn’t be more proud to be recognized as a best-in-class Canadian company alongside our other major accomplishments through 2016 and early 2017,” continues Crowe. “Our team is thrilled and we are excited to celebrate as a company.”
