Charleston, SC, March 3, 2017 – Stasmayer, Incorporated, IT support and services provider, announced today that CRN, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Stasmayer 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.

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.

"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,'

"Once again, we are flattered to see that the hard work we put in for our customers has earned us another place at the top of the industry in the CRN 500 list as one of the top 250 pioneering MSPs in North America. There is no shortage of opportunities and challenges in this industry, but that's what makes it exciting and also makes it feel at home at the same time. At Stasmayer, we're constantly looking for the best ways to bring the most effective solutions to our customers and through the managed services model. With our ever-growing number of strategic relationships, we're able to keep things fresh year after year while evolving a great business team. This new feather in our cap is another reminder that we are doing something right for our clients and team, which is what we dreamed of doing when we started on this journey 14 years ago. Thank you for the recognition. Here's to a great 2017!" said Richard Krenmayer, CEO, Stasmayer, Incorporated.
