Waltham, Massachusetts – Corporation is pleased to announce that CRN® has named NWN to its 2017 Managed Service Provider (MSP) 500 list in the Elite 150 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.

“We are proud to be recognized once again as a member of the Managed Service Provider 500 list. We have created world-class offerings to help our customers manage their on premise and cloud environments and provide enterprise help desk” said Drew Phelps, Executive Vice President of Services at NWN Corporation.

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-premise and off-premise services; and the Managed Security 100, recognizing MSPs focused primarily on off-premise, cloud-based security services.

NWN has over 15 years’ experience with 24x7x365 support and a team of dedicated engineers with the expertise to provide comprehensive support with years of experience partnering with customers. NWN is proud of the solutions we implement and are focused on taking the burden off of internal IT staff so they can focus on core business strategies.

“Managed service providers play an increasingly important role in the day-to-day operations of businesses across North America,” said Robert Faletra, CEO of The Channel Company. “MSPs help organizations streamline their spending, effectively allocate limited resources, and benefit from advanced expertise in the latest technologies. We congratulate the service providers on CRN’s 2017 MSP500 list, who have continually succeeded in meeting their customers’ changing needs and help them get the most out of their IT investments.”

The MSP500 list will be featured in the February 2017 issue of CRN and online at WWW.CRN.COM/MSP500.
