NEW ORLEANS – Bellwether Technology, an IT service provider in New Orleans, announced it has earned recognition on The Channel Company’s 2015 CRN Managed Service Provider (MSP) 500 list as one of the MSP Pioneer 250, and is the only company from Louisiana to make the list (for the second year in a row).
This annual list distinguishes the top technology providers and consultants in North America whose leading approach to managed services enables their customers to improve operational efficiencies, elicit greater value from their IT investments, and successfully leverage technology to achieve greater competitive advantage.
In today’s world of outsourced IT, the expertise of MSPs has become increasingly important to organizations. The plethora of choices in terms of consumption and procurement of technology can become overwhelming. To help facilitate companies’ selection and adoption of managed services and providers, CRN, the leading media outlet for technology vendors and solution providers who serve end-user customers, has identified the top 500 MSPs.
This year, CRN’s industry-focused directory highlights the Top 500 MSPs in three categories: 100 Hosting Providers who are experienced in providing mainly off-premise, or cloud-based, services; 150 Elite Service Providers who are large data center-focused solution providers with a strong mix of on-premise professional services as well as off-premise services; and 250 Progressive Service Providers who have a business model heavily weighted toward managed services geared toward the small and midsize business market.
Bellwether Technology Corporation is a managed IT services provider that focuses on serving businesses and organizations throughout southern Louisiana and the Gulf South. Bellwether’s core offerings include a comprehensive, outsourced IT department; project management and implementation; and cloud hosting.
“The allure of Everything-as-a-Service to organizations is largely rooted in the appeal of predictable operational expenses, cost-cutting, resource allocation and access to on-demand/pay-as-you-go technology,” said Robert Faletra, CEO, The Channel Company. “Therein lies a great need for the expertise of managed service providers. We congratulate the managed service providers who have engineered, or re-engineered, their businesses to deliver the services their customers rely on for future growth and ongoing success.”
“We are delighted to be the only Louisiana company named to CRN’s MSP 500 list for the second consecutive year,” said Bellwether president Poco Sloss. “This not only highlights the continuing quality of our work, but also shows our ability to embrace new trends and technologies such as the latest data security measures and cloud-based solutions.”
