Centre Technologies was named a 2026 CRN Triple Crown Award winner for the second time after landing spots on three major CRN lists in the same year. The recognition underscores the Houston-based IT provider’s growth, certifications and regional focus as it expands services in Texas and Oklahoma.

Why it matters: - The Triple Crown Award signals performance across scale, growth and technical credentials in one year. - For Centre Technologies, the recognition supports its positioning in managed services, cybersecurity, cloud and AI consulting. - The award can strengthen customer trust as businesses compare IT partners in Texas and Oklahoma.

The details: - The Triple Crown Award goes to companies that appear on three CRN lists in the same year. - The three lists are the Solution Provider 500, the Fast Growth 150 and the Tech Elite 250. - Solution Provider 500 ranks the largest IT solution providers in North America by revenue. - Fast Growth 150 spotlights the fastest-growing organizations in the channel. - Tech Elite 250 recognizes companies with the highest-level certifications from leading technology vendors. - Chris Pace, CEO and founder, said the achievement belongs to customers, partners and employees. - Pace said the company’s growth is tied to relationships and solving real business problems. - Pace said Centre remains focused on practical adoption of AI, automation, cybersecurity and business applications. - Centre says its service model assigns each customer a single pod led by a virtual CIO. - The company says that pod handles all support tickets and customer needs. - Centre also offers Secure Managed Services, AI and automation consulting, cloud solutions, cybersecurity and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. - Centre says it continues to invest in emerging technologies, AI consulting and automation strategies.

Between the lines: - The second Triple Crown win suggests Centre Technologies has turned a one-time industry honor into repeat validation. - The regional focus on Texas and Oklahoma positions the company as a local alternative to larger national IT providers. - The emphasis on personalized service and a dedicated pod model is a signal that Centre is competing on relationships as much as on technical breadth.

What's next: - Centre Technologies is likely to use the award in sales, recruiting and brand-building as the 2026 recognition is published by CRN. - The company says it will keep pushing practical adoption of AI and automation while maintaining enterprise experience and a local touch. - Pace said Centre is focused on what the team will accomplish next as customer needs evolve around AI, automation, cybersecurity and business applications.
