Tech Elite 250 list recognizes highest achieving IT solution providers in industry vendor certifications

Westborough, Mass. (March 25, 2019) – C Spire Business has been named one of the top 250 managed information technology service (IT) providers (MSPs) in North America by CRN, a top technology news and information source for solution providers, IT channel partners and value-added resellers (VARS).

A subsidiary of C Spire, a diversified telecommunications and technology services company, C Spire Business was included in the prestigious annual Tech Elite 250 list, which recognizes providers with the highest number of advanced technical certifications from leading technology suppliers, for the ninth consecutive year.

CRN editors said C Spire Business is among a small group of managed services firms with the most customer-beneficial technical certifications in the North American IT channel. Companies who earn the designation, which enable the delivery of premium products, services and customer support, are chosen from a pool of online applicants.

C Spire Business, with a 57 net promoter score that makes customers 138 percent more likely to recommend them to others, is the industry’s first full-stack managed information technology solutions provider, but customers can count on far more than just gaining access to the latest technology, according to general manager Don Monistere.

“As the industry’s first full-stack managed solutions provider, we can meet our customers wherever they are in the value chain and successfully help them manage their biggest technology challenges, whether it’s data protection or IT resiliency, in an increasingly data-driven world,” Monistere said.

Monistere said C Spire Business offers advanced connectivity, cloud, software, hardware, communications, professional services, cybersecurity, business continuity and technology support in a single, seamless, managed IT solution portfolio. “From desktop to data center, we help customers work smarter, faster and more secure.”

With over 500 service professionals, multiple data centers and ownership of nearly 9,000 route miles of fiber optic infrastructure, C Spire Business is poised to deliver world-class managed services to a variety of businesses. The firm is ranked 9th in the world among cloud service providers, Monistere added.

CRN’s Tech Elite 250 list recognizes solution providers with extensive technical knowledge and premier certifications,” said Bob Skelley, CEO of The Channel Company, which owns CRN. “Pursuit of vendor certifications and broader skill sets in a wide range of technologies and IT practices proves a solution provider is committed to delivering maximum business value from those technologies and giving customers their highest level of service.”

The Tech Elite 250 list will be featured in the April 2019 issue of CRN online at www.CRN.com/TechElite250.
