Salt Lake City, Utah, February 20, 2018 – VLCM announced today that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named VLCM to its 2018 Managed Service Provider (MSP) 500 list in the Managed Security 100 category.
This annual list recognizes North American solution providers with cutting-edge approaches to delivering managed services. Their offerings help companies navigate the complex and ever-changing landscape of IT, improve operational efficiencies, and maximize their return on IT investments.
In today’s fast-paced business environments, MSPs play an important role in helping companies leverage new technologies without straining their budgets or losing focus on their core business. CRN’s MSP 500 list shines a light on the most forward-thinking and innovative of these key organizations.
The 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-premise, cloud-based security services.
VLCM provides a broad portfolio of managed service offerings including Managed Security, Managed Network Infrastructure, Managed Helpdesk & User Services, Managed Backup & Disaster Recovery, and vCIO consulting.
“Managed service providers have become integral to the success of businesses everywhere, both large and small,” said Bob Skelley, CEO of The Channel Company. “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. The companies on CRN’s 2018 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.”
"Every single day we focus on taking care of each VLCM customer and getting IT right for them." said Mike Linton, Executive Vice President of VLCM. "We are deeply grateful for each customer that entrusts VLCM with their IT needs. We appreciate CRN for recognizing VLCM as one of the best managed IT solution providers in the nation. This recognition is confirmation that our team has the knowledge and industry expertise (collectively we hold over 200 technical certifications) to provide our clientele with the right IT solutions that span from the desktop to the datacenter to the cloud."
