CharTec: a Unique "Beyond HaaS" offering
MSPmentor today ranked ARRC Technology/CharTec No.76 on its annual ranking of the world’s most progressive managed service providers. www.mspmentor.net. The MSPmentor 100 is an annual survey conducted by MSPmentor and its owner, Nine Lives Media Inc.
“Instead of ranking MSPs merely by total revenue, we calculate an index measurement using such metrics as overall managed services revenue, overall managed services revenue growth, percentage managed services revenue growth, managed services revenue per employee, number of devices managed, and other data points comparing fiscal 2008 to fiscal 2009. This index approach ensures small, midsize and large MSPs from around the world are recognized on the MSPmentor 100,” said Joe Panettieri, Editorial Director of MSPmentor. In order to be considered for the MSPmentor 100 (2009-2010 edition), managed service providers had to complete a comprehensive online survey, which MSPmentor and Nine Lives Media Inc. conducted from October 2009 until December 2009. More than 1000 managed service providers from across the globe participated in the survey recording nearly $702 million in annual revenues.
The MSPmentor 100 provides the most comprehensive look ever at the MSP model and the world’s most progressive providers like ARRC Technology and CharTec.
“It is really exciting to be associated with the movers and shakers on this list for a second year. These companies represent the leaders in our industry—they are our teachers, our colleagues, our clients and my friends,” said Alex Rogers, ARRC and CharTec CEO.
A managed service provider (MSP) provides delivery and management of network-based services, applications, and equipment to enterprises, businesses, or other service providers. Managed service providers can offer services that can include fully outsourced network management arrangements, including advanced features like IP telephony, messaging and call center, virtual private network (VPNs), managed firewalls, and monitoring/reporting of network servers. Most of these services can be performed from outside a company's internal network with a special emphasis placed on integration and certification of Internet security for applications and content. MSPs serve as outsourcing agents for companies, especially other service providers like ISPs, that don't have the resources to constantly upgrade or maintain faster and faster computer networks.
