March 4, 2022 Computerease, a leading IT support company for businesses, announced today that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Computerease to its Managed Service Provider (MSP) 500 list in the Pioneer 250 category for 2022. CRN’s annual MSP 500 list identifies the leading service providers in North America whose forward-thinking approaches to managed services are changing the landscape of the IT channel, helping end users increase efficiency and simplify IT solutions while maximizing their return on investment.

With many customers still recovering from the impact of the ongoing pandemic, MSPs have become a vital part of the success of businesses worldwide. MSPs not only empower organizations to leverage intricate technologies but also help them keep a strict focus on their core business goals without straining their budgets.

The annual MSP 500 list is divided into three sections: 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- and off-premises services; and the Managed Security 100, recognizing MSPs focused primarily on off-premises and cloud-based security services.

Computerease was chosen for this distinguished award because the company is recognized as a top IT support provider serving the Greater St. Louis area, the Greater Chicago area, and the entirety of Illinois. As a family owned and operated small business, Computerease shows dedication to helping other small businesses and entrepreneurs maximize technology to further their business goals. The Computerease team helps its clients stay on the cutting edge of technology to remain relevant in an ever-changing world.

“In addition to having to adjust their own business operations to account for the changed conditions during the pandemic, MSPs have also seen increased demand for their managed communications, collaboration and security services,” said Blaine Raddon, CEO of The Channel Company. “The solution providers on our 2022 MSP 500 list deserve credit for their innovative and game-changing approaches to managed services in these unpredictable times, as well as their ability to optimize operational efficiencies and systems without straining IT budgets.”

Ryan Haislar, President of Computerease, shared, “Our clients rely on us for highly reliable and responsive IT support, but we become invested in their businesses as well. Technology is the backbone for a business’s productivity and efficiency. We work alongside our small and medium business clients and their leadership teams to make sure that their technology solutions help them achieve their business goals. It’s a huge priority for us and how we best serve our clients.”

The MSP 500 list will be featured in the February 2022 issue of CRN and online at www.crn.com/msp500.
