This year’s 2025 Top Systems Integrators managed to succeed where many others struggled, bringing in the highest North American systems integration revenue in a decade. Many of them credited interest in new technology solutions, from AI to cloud solutions, to proactive monitoring. So there is no doubt that the vendors and distributors these integrators chose to partner with played a pivotal role in their success.
Every year, SDM asks each of the 2025 Top Systems Integrator companies to name the top manufacturers and top distributors that earned their business in the previous year, based on volume purchased. The resulting lists, below, were the companies most often written in for the open-ended question.
Of the 100 companies ranked on the Top Systems Integrators Report, 84 named their top manufacturing partners, and 83 listed their top distributors. SDM combined their responses, and ranked the manufacturers and distributors by the number of mentions each received, with the manufacturer or distributor receiving the greatest number of mentions listed first, and so on. After the top 10 manufacturers and top six distributors, mentions were distributed fairly equally among a number of suppliers
