The MSPmentor 100 report and the MSPmentor 200 North America Edition is based on data from MSPmentor’s global online survey, conducted October-December 2011. The MSPmentor 100 report recognizes top managed service providers based on a range of metrics, including annual managed services revenue growth, revenue per employee, managed services offered and customer devices managed.
“2011 was a year of evolution for MSPs and re-strategizing the MSP delivery model.” said The Launch Pad CEO, Ilene Rosoff. “We have all worked very hard to continue to be relevant and to grow as cloud services and other “deskless” technologies move into the SMB realm. I am proud of our team and ithe innovation we and other successful MSPs continue to build into our services and for our client’s success.”
“Nine Lives Media and MSPmentor congratulate The Launch Pad for earning this distinguished honor and for its leadership position in North America,” said Amy Katz, president of Nine Lives Media, a division of Penton Media. “As our expanded survey results reveal, the annual MSPmentor 100 survey attracts MSPs from across the globe. Qualifying for our MSPmentor 100 Global Edition list is a great accomplishment.”
“MSPs on this year’s global 100 list lifted their annual recurring revenues 28 percent to $1.04 billion, an incredible showing considering the economic uncertainty all IT services providers faced,” said Joe Panettieri, editorial director of Nine Lives Media. “Those MSPs are now managing 2.7 million desktop and mobile devices for customers, an incredible jump of 50 percent from 2010.”
