“Over the past year, FNTS has made significant investments in our strategic partner programs to provide added value to our clients,” said FNTS President Kim Whittaker, who was named among CRN’s Power 80 Women of the Channel in 2023. “We continue to develop new services that seamlessly complement our existing portfolio by drawing from both internal capabilities and partner-provided services.”
FNTS recently established partnerships to support clients in the following managed services areas: multicloud optimization and modernization; mainframe optimization; AI and machine learning; application modernization; and data management and observability.
“CRN’s Tech Elite 250 highlights leading-edge solution providers within the IT landscape, distinguished by their comprehensive technical proficiency, expertise, and commitment to achieving top-level certifications in critical technology areas," said Jennifer Follett, VP, U.S. Content, and Executive Editor of CRN at The Channel Company.
