Madison, WI (February 14, 2022) – CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Madison-based Applied Tech to its 2022 Managed Service Provider (MSP) 500 list in the Pioneer 250 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.
Applied Tech was chosen because of its strong support of SMBs throughout the entire state of Wisconsin with offices in Madison, Milwaukee, and Wausau. Applied Tech’s experts have implemented services and solutions to increase productivity, streamline support, reduce cyber risk, and minimize downtime to meet the needs of more than 300 companies — as well as strategically guide organizations through the evolving technology landscape.
“Applied Tech is pleased to be included in such a prestigious list of successful MSPs across the USA,” said Daniel Petersen, President of Applied Tech.” This recognition is testimony to the diligence and hard work of our employees and their constant attention to our customers and their needs. We at Applied Tech continually strive to hold ourselves to high industry standards, not for awards, but because it is the imperative to the success of our organization and our customers’.”
The head of The Channel Company agreed.
“Managed service providers have become integral to the success of businesses everywhere, both large and small,” said Bob Skelley, CEO. “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 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.”
