This annual list recognizes North American solution providers with cutting-edge approaches to delivering managed services. Their offerings help companies navigate the complex and ever-changing landscape of IT, improve operational efficiencies, and maximize their return on IT investments.  In today’s fast-paced business environments, MSPs play an important role in helping companies leverage new technologies without straining their budgets or losing focus on their core business. CRN’s MSP 500 list shines a light on the most forward-thinking and innovative of these key organizations.  The list is divided into three categories: 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-premise, cloud-based security services.  DP Solutions was selected for the MSP Pioneer 250 list for its customer care philosophy, which is built around proactive and client-centric communication. The team at DP Solutions functions as more than just a technology vendor, but rather a true partner who will be there for the long run to help support our clients’ business initiatives with a breadth of technology expertise.   “Managed service providers have become integral to the success of businesses everywhere, both large and small,” said Bob Skelley, CEO of The Channel Company. “Capable MSPs enable companies to take their cloud computing to the next level, streamline spending, effectively allocate limited resources and navigate the vast field of available technologies. The companies on CRN’s 2018 MSP 500 list stand out for their innovative services, excellence in adapting to customers’ changing needs and demonstrated ability to help businesses get the most out of their IT investments.”  “As a managed services provider, the core emphasis of our business is to be more than a technology vendor, but rather a true partner who will be there for the long run to support our clients’ business initiatives,” said Simon Tutt, President and CEO of DP Solutions. “Receiving this award for the fifth consecutive year is a true honor as we continue to strive for excellence in the services we provide.”    The MSP500 list will be featured in the February 2018 issue of CRN and online at [www.CRN.com/msp500](http://www.CRN.com/msp500).  **Follow The Channel Company:** [Twitter](https://twitter.com/TheChannelCo), [LinkedIn](http://www.linkedin.com/company/the-channel-company) and [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/TheChannelCompany?fref=ts)   **About ****DP Solutions  **Simply put, the sole goal of DP Solutions is to streamline our clients' IT management, allowing them to grow their business.  With over 45 years of experience, we serve as a trusted IT business partner to our clients.
