CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CBTS today announced it has been ranked a top company on the 2026 Solution Provider 500 List by CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company. It marks the company's 11th consecutive year on the list.

The annual Solution Provider 500 list serves as a benchmark of leading IT services companies across the technology channel. The solution providers on this list are key influencers driving growth across the IT industry through business leadership, technical expertise, and service delivery. CBTS earned its place on the list through consistent execution across the full technology stack including advisory, engineering, deployment, and managed operations.

The company serves enterprise and midmarket clients through infrastructure modernization, cloud adoption, cybersecurity transformation, and now AI. CBTS works with more than 3,000 clients across the United States and Canada, including Fortune 500 companies and organizations in highly regulated industries where technology failures are not an option.

"The organizations we serve are under real pressure to move AI into production, tighten security, and do both without disrupting the business that's running today," said CBTS CEO Kristin Russell. "It takes a partner with depth across the full stack, accountability across the full lifecycle, and the track record to back it up. CBTS is built for exactly this moment.”
