DES MOINES, Iowa — February 15, 2024 — LightEdge, a leading provider of secure cloud and colocation for nearly three decades, proudly announces its recognition on CRN®’s Managed Service Provider (MSP) 500 list in the Pioneer 250 category for 2024.
The MSP 500 list compiled by CRN, a brand of The Channel Company, serves as a comprehensive guide to recognizing the top Managed Service Providers (MSPs) in North America that are driving growth and innovation in the industry. The MSP Pioneer 250 portion of the list acknowledges companies with business models centered toward managed services and largely focused on the SMB market. These service providers not only enable businesses to harness complex technologies but also contribute to maintaining a strong focus on core business goals without stretching financial resources.
In 2023, LightEdge experienced 100% year-over-year growth in revenue from the channel and deepened partnerships with channel leaders such as AVANT Communications.
“LightEdge has very intentionally doubled down on secure and compliant hybrid, multi-cloud and business continuity solutions, and we’re so proud that it’s resonating with the channel community,” said LightEdge CEO Jim Masterson. “Our unusually low customer churn rate of less than one percent proves that channel partners have a cloud, colocation and managed services provider they can trust in LightEdge.”
Jennifer Follett, VP of US Content and Executive Editor for CRN, The Channel Company, emphasized the significance of managed services for businesses at various scales, stating, “Managed services provide a route for businesses of all sizes to maintain efficiency and adaptability throughout their growth journey. The solution providers featured in our 2024 MSP 500 list are introducing cutting-edge managed services portfolios to the market, enabling their clients to achieve success by optimizing their IT budgets.
