I always think First Tech deserves a special award for its ability to perform well in the depressed Michigan market. From what I gather in talking to some Inner Circle VARs, both past and present, there’s a classic sales pattern at work year. Have a weak year during one 12 month period and it’s easier to achieve the Inner Circle. But have a strong year – difficult comparisons as they say in the financial analysis business – and it’s easy to fall short of the goal even with a good year of sales. It’s the old, do well, but not too well or your quota is on a higher base. The repeaters on this list are ePartners, BDO Dunwoody, Fullscope, Hitachi, McGladrey, Tribridge, Tectura and Wipfli. Falling off the 2010 list were Crowe Horwath, Ibis, Interdyn AKA, Sunrise Technologies, I don’t suppose it’s an accident that the repeaters tend to be concentrated in the high end of the revenue pyramid.
