Jersey City, NJ—March 2, 2021 IT By Design (ITBD), a market leader for providing engineering talent to IT service providers, today announced that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has again named IT By Design to its 2021 Managed Service Provider (MSP) 500 list in the Pioneer 250 category. The list, released annually, recognizes the leading North American solution providers that have demonstrated innovative and forward-thinking approaches to managed services. These services help end users improve operational efficiencies and navigate the ongoing complexities of IT solutions while maximizing their return on IT investments.

The MSP 500 list is divided into three sections: 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-premises and off-premises services; and the Managed Security 100, recognizing MSPs focused primarily on off-premises and cloud-based security services.

“Effective MSPs enable companies to focus on their core objectives while improving the quality and reliability of their cloud computing capabilities,” said Blaine Raddon, CEO of The Channel Company. “The solution providers on CRN’s 2021 MSP 500 list deserve recognition for their innovative and forward-thinking approaches to managed services, and the ability to optimize operational efficiencies and systems to maximize return on investments.”

“We are honored to join such innovative, influential, and successful MSPs on this annual list—we are humbled to be among such exceptional company,” said Sunny Kaila, CEO, ITBD. “This honor reflects the commitment of our entire ITBD community—500 strong—to the success of our partners, in which our own accomplishments are rooted.”
