CBTS—a global provider of IT solutions and services, including Application Modernization, Unified Communications, Managed Hybrid Cloud, Cybersecurity, and Infrastructure Solutions—announced today that CRN, a brand of The Channel Company, has recognized CBTS on its Managed Service Provider (MSP) 500 list in the Elite 150 category for 2025.
CRN’s annual MSP 500 list is a comprehensive guide to the leading MSPs in North America. These companies deliver essential managed services that enhance business efficiency, simplify IT, and optimize return on technology investments for their customers.
The annual MSP 500 list is divided into three sections: the Pioneer 250, which recognizes MSPs focused on the small-and-midsize-business market; the Elite 150, recognizing MSPs with a blend of on- and off-premises services for mostly midmarket and enterprise customers; and the Managed Security 100, spotlighting MSPs with cloud-based security services expertise.
The MSP 500 list showcases and celebrates MSPs that are driving growth and innovation. These solution providers empower businesses with complex technologies so they can achieve their business goals without stretching financial resources.
“The solution providers on our 2025 MSP 500 list deliver innovative managed services portfolios that enable clients of every size to be more agile and optimize their IT budgets as they grow their business,” said Jennifer Follett, VP of U.S. Content and executive Editor CRN, at The Channel Company. “These are the companies that anticipate client tech needs and develop groundbreaking services and solutions that let customers focus on their core business so they can accelerate success.”
“We are extremely honored to achieve this recognition by CRN, who we consider a leading voice on the Managed Services Provider industry,” said John Hanlon, Chief Revenue Officer, CBTS. “As an organization, CBTS is committed to continually improving our capabilities and helping our clients harness the power of technology to deliver measurable success.”
The MSP 500 list will be featured in the February 2025 issue of CRN Magazine and online at www.crn.com/msp500 beginning February 10.
