WGTECH Recognized for Excellence in Managed IT Services

WESTBROOK, Maine - Feb. 24, 2016 - PRLog -- WGTECH (http://www.wgtech.com), Northern New England’s resource for advanced technology, announced today that CRN® (http://www.crn.com/), a brand of The Channel Company (http://www.thechannelco.com/), has named WGTECH to its 2016 Managed Service Provider (MSP) 500 list in the Pioneer 250 category. This annual list recognizes North American solution providers with cutting-edge approaches to delivering managed services. Their top-notch 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-premise and off-premise services; and the MSP Hosting Service Provider 100, recognizing MSPs focused primarily on off-premise, cloud-based services.

WGTECH offers a flexible and scalable Managed IT Services solution that helps companies control costs, increase productivity, and secure their environment. This proactive solution identifies network and IT issues before they become problems, and help companies gain control of their IT infrastructure. WGTECH recently has enhanced the reports included with its Managed IT Services solution to help customers understand services delivered and to more fully calculate ROI.

“MSPs meet a critical need in the IT market, providing customized, turnkey services that allow for predictable operational expenses, effective control of expenditures, precise allocation of limited resources and convenient access to on-demand and pay-as-you-go technology. We congratulate the service providers of the MSP 500, who continually reinvent themselves to successfully meet their customers’ changing needs, helping businesses get the most out of their IT investments and sharpen their competitive edge.”

“Our flexible approach to Managed Services sets us apart from other providers,” says Bill McKeen, VP of Systems and Technology, WGTECH. “We don’t force companies into long-term contracts, or make them use a specific set of services – instead, we customize a solution for each company. Our goal is to help companies get the benefits of a highly skilled IT staff, 24/7 systems monitoring, and optimal uptime at a reasonable and affordable cost.”

The MSP 500 list will be featured in the February 2016 issue of CRN and online at www.CRN.com/msp500.
