CRN's 2014 Managed Service Provider 500

This year CRN is launching its inaugural Managed Service Provider 500 list, a project recognizing the top technology providers and consultants in North America whose forward-thinking approach to providing managed services is changing the landscape of the IT channel.

As businesses increasingly turn to managed service providers to fulfill their IT needs, the channel is undergoing a major transformation, adding a range of professional and IT hosting services to their offerings. And that means many solution providers are transitioning to a services-led, recurring revenue business model.

The MSP 500 is divided into three groups: The MSP Pioneer 250, the MSP Elite 150 and the MSP Hosting Service Provider 100.
