Top 100The call for entries for Bob Scott's Top 100 VARs is open for the 2016 selection. And what themes are we likely to see this year? The continuing move to the cloud seems like the obvious major trends. We continued to see desktop VARs taking on products from Acumatica, Intacct and NetSuite Also notable is the growing bifurcation of the Dynamics market between large Dynamics AX vendors and Dynamics GP, NAV and SL, which Microsoft labels as its SMB products.

The M&A action appears concentrated at the high end, the realm of AX. Last year's No. 1, and this year's likely No. 1, RSM (formerly McGladrey) acquired Junction Solutions. No. 4, UXC Eclipse saw its parent acquired by CSC. No. 5, Edgewater Technology, has so far fought off the hostile takeover bid by Ameri Holdings, which withdrew its proxy fight. No. 26, I.B.I.S. was purchased by Bangalore, India-based Sonata Software. Edgewater itself acquired Dynamics CRM reseller, Zero2Ten, early in the year. And I could go on, but the point is the entry forms, right?  So if you want to receive a form for submission so you can be a part of this year's story, let me know by May 1 at This email address is being protected from spambots.
