CBTS has named AVANT its 2025 Top Technology Solutions Distributor (TSD) Partner of the Year, marking its fourth consecutive win in a row for this distinction. Their continued recognition reflects a strong track record of driving growth, accelerating solution adoption, and enabling Trusted Advisors with the expertise and resources needed to address complex customer requirements.

“AVANT’s 2025 recognition reflects its continued ability to align the right technology to the right moment,” said Rob Messmer, Channel Chief at CBTS. “Strategically helping organizations move forward with purpose by aligning advanced technologies with customer outcomes—while maintaining an exceptional focus on sales engineering excellence—makes AVANT a standout TSD and a trusted driver of sustained growth.”

Technology change no longer happens in phases; it happens all at once. Organizations are expected to modernize networks, adopt cloud strategies, strengthen security and embrace AI in parallel. The CBTS and AVANT partnership stood out by bringing order to that complexity.

With CBTS providing managed services and AVANT guiding solution strategy, technology advisors and customers gain direction amidst constant change. “When AVANT and CBTS work together, engineering becomes a competitive advantage,” said Mark Bennett, CBTS National Channel Manager. “Our teams challenge each other, elevate the solution, and consistently deliver outcomes that matter for our customers and technology advisors.”

A cornerstone of AVANT’s success is its investment in sales engineering, training, and enablement. As it celebrates this historic fourth consecutive win, the company stands poised for even greater impact in 2026 and beyond. Not merely a recognition of past performance, this award affirms that AVANT’s strategic vision, technical excellence, solution design support, and dedication to client outcomes will continue to shape the future of technology distribution.

“Partnerships like the one we share with CBTS are built on more than performance—they’re built on trust, shared priorities, and a commitment to doing what’s right for customers,” said Shane McNamara, EVP of Engineering and Operations at AVANT. “As technology continues to evolve, we’re confident this collaboration will keep delivering meaningful outcomes for our Trusted Advisors and the businesses they serve.”

With the digital landscape in constant flux, this four-peat triumph signals one thing loud and clear: AVANT isn’t just keeping pace with change—it’s defining it. Congratulations to the team!
