(Escanaba, MI) February 19, 2024 — DS Tech has announced that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named DS Tech to its Managed Service Provider (MSP) 500 list in the Pioneer 250 category for 2024.
The MSP 500 list compiled by CRN serves as a comprehensive guide to identifying and recognizing the top Managed Service Providers (MSPs) in North America. MSPs play a crucial role in supporting businesses by offering managed services that enhance efficiency, simplify IT solutions, and optimize return on investment.
The annual MSP 500 list is divided into three sections: 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- and off-premises services; and the Managed Security 100, recognizing MSPs focused primarily on off-premises and cloud-based security services.
The MSP 500 list aims to showcase and celebrate MSPs that are driving growth and innovation in the industry. These service providers not only enable businesses to harness complex technologies but also contribute to maintaining a strong focus on core business goals without stretching financial resources. By categorizing MSPs based on their business models and areas of expertise, the list helps end-users find the right partners to meet their specific needs and challenges in the rapidly evolving technology landscape.
DS Tech has been honored with the 2024 Pioneer 250 award because of the company’s strong emphasis on cybersecurity and its consistent, rapid response approach. Specializing in serving compliance-focused industries like banking, medical, and manufacturing, DS Tech reaffirms its leadership in providing essential IT and cybersecurity services.
Jennifer Follett, VP of US Content and executive Editor CRN, The Channel Company, emphasized the significance of managed services for businesses at various scales, stating, “Managed services provide a route for businesses of all sizes to maintain efficiency and adaptability throughout their growth journey. The solution providers featured in our 2024 MSP 500 list are introducing cutting-edge managed services portfolios to the market, enabling their clients to achieve success by optimizing their IT budgets. This allows businesses to allocate resources strategically, concentrating on mission-critical tasks that drive future success.”
“DS Tech has been a cybersecurity-first MSP for a very long time,” said Josh Marenger, vice president, DS Tech. “As customers’ needs and risks have changed over the years, we have been able to pivot or add new tools to our stack easily, thanks to the experience and knowledge of our team. We have continued to build on that so we’re ready for the next challenge that arises. Having very long-term relationships with both our employees and customers speaks volumes that things are being done right, and we will continue to be proactive in our work and our training so we can set both our customers and us up for success.”
