Three leaders and amazing Alberta IT support firms were recently recognized worldwide on the MSP Mentor Top 100 Managed Service Providers worldwide. Since retiring from an Active IT service career I still follow what is happening in the industry here in Calgary and Alberta. Joe and Amy do a fantastic job covering the IT industry.
My buddy Joe from MSP Mentor announces the Top 100 MSPs
First, you maybe asking…what the heck is an MSP? Well, it is an overused term in the IT support business for those firms which simply have exceptional support services built on a completely outsourced and managed offering. I think I am speaking out of turn, but the good service providers like the three mentioned here probably don’t refer to themselves as MSPs. They simply take care of the needs of their clients and obviously doing a great job at it.
Did I mention that I absolutely detest that term “Managed Service Provider”. But it is what it is.
Congrats to the three Alberta firms
SSI Solutions headquartered in Edmonton and recently expanded into Calgary with the merger of Twin Solutions ranked 49/100 (Top 50 Jason and Alex, gotta love that) plus my good buddies over at Longview Systems ranked 2/100 (Congrats Andrew, Don and Kent). These are awesome examples of two great IT firms who definitely make a big difference in the Canadian market.
Calgary and Edmonton firm Compuvision also showed up at the 34th spot. I believe that makes all the Canadian firms ranked headquartered in Alberta. Congrats to Ryan Vestby and team for a great showing.
Who said the “Alberta Advantage” is dead?
Also a big thanks to Joe and Amy at Nine Lives Media for all they do in the technology industry.
