Dallas, TEXAS, [March 19, 2026]— Clear Technologies, today announced that CRN, a brand of The Channel Company, has recognized Clear Technologies on its 2026 Tech Elite 250 list.
This annual list highlights solution providers based in the U.S. and Canada that are committed to excellence and distinguish themselves by attaining top-tier certifications and specializations from leading technology vendors in areas such as artificial intelligence, infrastructure, cloud and security.
To support customers through the growing complexities of IT and the rise of cutting-edge technologies like AI, the solution providers on this list uphold rigorous levels of training and certification from strategic IT vendors, often aiming for the pinnacle tiers within these vendors’ partner programs. Whether they are strategic service providers, systems integrators, managed service providers or value-added resellers, these elite solution providers are committed to their customers’ success.
Clear Technologies earned its place on the 2026 Tech Elite 250 through a sustained commitment to advanced certifications and deep technical specializations across hardware and software platforms. The company holds platinum-level partner status with leading vendors including IBM, and maintains rigorous, continuously updated credentials across infrastructure, hybrid cloud, storage, security, and automation.
Over the past year, Clear Technologies has experienced exponential growth in its Automation practice — expanding both its certified expertise and its customer footprint across IT automation software tooling. This momentum reflects surging enterprise demand for solutions that reduce manual intervention, accelerate operations, and position organizations to take full advantage of AI-driven capabilities. Clear Technologies has met that demand with a team equipped to architect, deploy, and optimize automation strategies at scale.
With a team of highly certified engineers and solution architects, Clear Technologies brings practitioner-level expertise to every customer engagement — from legacy infrastructure optimization to AI-ready architecture design. The company’s investment in certification extends beyond compliance; it reflects a deliberate strategy to ensure customers have access to the most current, vetted technical knowledge available in the market.
Clear Technologies further distinguishes itself through Visual One Intelligence®, its proprietary platform that delivers unified cost visibility and performance intelligence across hybrid IT environments — helping enterprise organizations move beyond manual reporting and toward data-driven infrastructure decisions.
“Being named to the CRN Tech Elite 250 is a reflection of what our team brings to the table every single day,” said Phil Godwin, President & COO of Clear Technologies and Visual One Intelligence®. “Our customers operate in complex, hybrid environments where expertise isn’t optional — it’s the difference between confident decisions and costly guesswork. This recognition affirms our commitment to staying at the forefront of the technologies that matter most to the enterprises we serve.”
“Congratulations to the solution providers named to CRN’s Tech Elite 250 on this well‑earned recognition of their commitment to advanced certifications and deep expertise in these critical technologies,” said Jennifer Follett, VP, U.S. Content, Executive Editor, CRN at The Channel Company. “These organizations continue to invest in expanding their capabilities so they can deliver exceptional IT solutions that help their customers succeed.”
