Rockville, MD—Optimal Networks, Inc. announced today that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Optimal to its 2016 Managed Service Provider (MSP) 500 list in the MSP Pioneer 250 category. This annual list recognizes top North American technology providers and consultants who have demonstrated innovations in managed services delivery. Optimal was recognized, in part, for their ability to navigate the complex and ever-changing landscape of IT, improve operational efficiencies, and maximize return on IT investments for clients.
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 MSP Hosting Service Provider 100, recognizing MSPs focused primarily on off-premise, cloud-based services.
Optimal Networks earned this recognition for meeting a critical need in the IT market by launching its Fractional CIO service, and for providing customized, turnkey services that allow for predictable operational expenses, effective control of expenditures, precise allocation of limited resources, and convenient access to on-demand and pay-as-you-go technology.
“There are many outstanding service providers on this year’s list, and Optimal Networks is proud to be among them,” said Heinan Landa, Optimal’s CEO. “Our team strives to continually improve our services to meet our customers’ changing needs and sharpen their competitive edge. It is always humbling when our efforts on behalf of our clients are recognized.”
In today’s fast-paced business environments, MSPs play an important role in helping companies leverage new technologies without losing focus on their core business missions. CRN’s MSP 500 list shines a light on the most forward-thinking and innovative of these key organizations.
The MSP 500 list will be featured in the February 2016 issue of CRN and online at www.CRN.com/msp500.
