Flowood, Mississippi, March 5, 2019 – The Solutions Team, Inc., an IT Business Solutions Partner, announced today that CRN_®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named The Solutions Team to its 2019 Managed Service Provider (MSP) 500 list in the Pioneer 250 category. This annual list recognizes North American solution providers with innovative approaches to managed services. These services help customers improve operational efficiencies, maximize return on IT investments, and continuously help them navigate the complexities of IT solutions.

Managed service providers are integral to the success of businesses everywhere. They empower companies to implement and operate complex technologies while staying within their budgets and keep focus on their core business. CRN’s MSP 500 list identifies the most groundbreaking managed service organizations, with advanced solutions that have endless potential for growth. 

This annual list is divided into three categories: the MSP Pioneer 250, recognizing companies with business models weighted toward managed services and largely focused on the SMB market; the MSP Elite 150, recognizing large, data center-focused MSPs with a strong mix of on-premises and off-premises services; and the Managed Security 100, recognizing MSPs focused primarily on off-premises, cloud-based security services.

The Solutions Team was chosen for this award because of their product offerings and how those relate to the realities of business in 2019. “Ransomeware attacks and security breaches are on the rise — we have tools to combat these,” said The Solutions Team CEO, Todd Gooden. “Also, providing services without hardware purchases allows businesses to upgrade end-of-life equipment without disrupting cashflow. We now have the capability to provide multiple managed service products, so that our clients can have ‘network as a service.'”

“Capable MSPs enable companies to take their cloud computing to the next level, streamline spending, effectively allocate limited resources and navigate the vast field of available technologies,” said Bob Skelley, CEO of The Channel Company. “The companies on CRN’s 2019 MSP 500 list stand out for their innovative services, excellence in adapting to customers’ changing needs and demonstrated ability to help businesses get the most out of their IT investments.” 

The MSP500 list was featured in the February 2019 issue of CRN and online at www.CRN.com/msp500.
