Online, April 19, 2012 (Newswire.com) - IT certifications help small business VARs, MSPs, and IT consultants differentiate themselves from the competition by building credibility with clients and peers, allowing greater access to many IT reseller channel programs, and increasing visibility. All of these benefits add up to a stronger bottom line. There are many certifications available, but they are not all created equal. SP Home Run Inc. has made the selection process easier with the publication of the Top 21 IT Certifications for Small Business VARs, SPs, and Computer Consulting Businesses, which is offered free on its website at http://www.sphomerun.com/top-21-it-certifications-for-small-business/

The Top 21 IT Certifications white paper shows nine ways to use certifications to increase credibility, differentiate technical competence, and accelerate the IT sales cycle, while profiling each certification program including:

* What certifications each organization provides

* How long the certifying organization has been around

* Each organization's policy for exams and costs

* Who would benefit most from each certification

* What learning resources are available

* Contact information and how to apply
