Anchor Network Solutions, Inc. Named to Managed Service Provider 500 List by CRN

Company Recognized for Exemplary Approach to Delivery of Managed IT Services

Lone Tree, CO April 10, 2015 – Anchor Network Solutions, a Colorado based provider of IT consulting services, today announced it has earned recognition on The Channel Company’s 2015 CRN Managed Service Provider (MSP) 500 list as one of the MSP Pioneers. 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.

“Our real job is to provide big business IT on a small business budget for our clients. Providing value to our clients by helping take them forward in their businesses…..that’s the satisfying piece of what we do. It’s not the technology that geeks us out, it’s finding technical solutions to our clients’ business problems that really get us going,” said Vince Tinnirello, CEO of Anchor Network Solutions.

“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. Therein lies a great need for the expertise of managed service providers,” said Robert Faletra, CEO, The Channel Company. “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’re very honored to have been named the the CRN Managed Service Provider 500 list, and more specifically the MSP Pioneer division. We take what we do very seriously, and are always on the lookout for new and improved ways of doing things to provide the best value to our clients. It’s nice to be recognized for our very careful and deliberate best practices approach to servicing our clients.”

Coverage of the MSP500 will be featured in the February 2015 issue of CRN and online at www.CRN.com.
