Centaris Named to MSP Pioneer 250 List
Sterling Heights, MI, March 2nd, 2017 – Centaris announced today that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Centaris, to its 2017 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.
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.
“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.”
“It’s an honor to be included in the MSP Pioneer 250 list,” said Curtis Hicks II, President and CEO of Centaris. “I cannot express how proud I am of our team, and the hard work they do each day. We are constantly striving to become a better company not only for our employees, but for our clients as well. Without them, Centaris would not be the company we are today.”
The MSP500 list will be featured in the February 2017 issue of CRN and online at www.CRN.com/msp500.
