Stasmayer, IT support and services provider, announced today that CRN**(r)**, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Stasmayer to its 2016 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 top-notch 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-premise and off-premise services; and the MSP Hosting Service Provider 100, recognizing MSPs focused primarily on off-premise, cloud-based services.

"Managed Services is a challenging and ever-evolving area of focus for Stasmayer. It's also very rewarding and our listing in the CRN 500 is a magnificent highlight of this testament. We are truly honored to have been recognized as one of the top 250 pioneering MSPs in North America. At Stasmayer, one of our core values is IT's Simple. We believe that it can be simple and should be made simple, so our customers can achieve greatness and their customers can have a memorable experience time and time again. In order to make IT simple, it takes a deliberate effort to constantly innovate and improve. We're speechless that our peers have noticed our commitment to the greatness of others and we thank you," said Richard Krenmayer, CEO, Stasmayer, Incorporated.

"MSPs meet a critical need in the IT market, 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," said Robert Faletra, CEO, The Channel Company. "We congratulate the service providers of the MSP 500, who continually reinvent themselves to successfully meet their customers' changing needs, helping businesses get the most out of their IT investments and sharpen their competitive edge."

The MSP 500 list is featured in the February 2016 issue of CRN and online at www.CRN.com/msp500.
