World’s Most Progressive MSPs in Information Technology

MASON, MI – Doberman Technologies LLC ranks among the world’s most progressive 501 Managed Service Providers (MSPs), according to Penton Technology’s 9th-annual MSP 501 list and study. The top MSP 501 companies ranked this year include organizations from around the world and from diverse technology and business backgrounds. Collectively, they amassed $9.82 billion in sales in 2015 and increased their oversight of technology devices to more than 5.6 million.

The complete 2016 MSP 501 list is available at MSPmentor. In addition to honoring Doberman Technologies LLC, this year’s MSP 501 list and study showcases the following:

• The top ranked MSPs in North America
• The top MSPs in Europe, Middle East and Africa
• The top MSPs in Asia, Australia and New Zealand
• The top Small Business MSPs’ list, comprised of organizations with 10 or fewer employees
• The top vertical markets pursued by MSP 501 companies
• The leading tools they leverage to run their businesses
• And the top technologies they provide to customers

“Being named to both the MSP 501 master list, as well as the SMB100 list is a great honor. In fact, Doberman is the only IT Management firm in the greater Lansing region to make both lists,” said Ian Richardson, CEO, Doberman Technologies LLC. “At Doberman, it’s truly a collaborative team effort that drives us to deliver ‘Stress-free IT’ to our clients through our reliability, continuity and security platform. It’s because of our team that we’ve garnered this recognition and I look forward to continuing to service our clients to the very best of our combined ability.”

“On behalf of Penton and MSPmentor, I would like to congratulate Doberman Technologies LLC for its recognition as an MSP 501 honoree,” said Aldrin Brown, Editor in Chief, MSPmentor. “The managed service provider market is evolving at a rapid pace and the companies showcased on the 2016 MSP 501 list represent the most agile, flexible and innovative organizations in the industry.”

The 2016 MSP 501 list is based on data collected by MSPmentor and its partner, Clarity Channel Advisors. Data was collected online from March through April 2016. The MSP 501 list recognizes top manaaged service providers based on metrics including recurring revenue, growth and other factors. In addition to a ranking on the MSP 501 list, every company that participated in the study has been assigned a score reflecting its intrinsic value. The measure, known as the Total Service Provider (TSP) score, evaluates an MSP’s mix of revenue from various activities, including consulting, cloud, reselling and managed services.
