Converged Technology Group Ranked Among Top 501 Managed Service Providers by Penton Technology's MSPmentor

NEW YORK, June 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Converged Technology Group (www.convergedtechgroup.com), an award-winning Managed Services Partner (MSP) serving clients throughout the Northeast, announced today that it has been named one of the world's most progressive 501 Managed Service Providers (MSPs) according to Penton Technology's ninth-annual MSP 501 list and study. This year's top MSP 501 companies include organizations from around the world and from diverse technology and business backgrounds. Collectively, they amassed $9.82 billion in sales in 2015 and increased their oversight of technology devices to more than 5.6 million.

"As organizations work to become more agile, driving business value through the adoption of technologies that will help them increase revenue and production, reduce cost and mitigate risk, they are finding themselves at a crossroads as it pertains to operational support," says Leo E. Galletta, President and CEO, Converged Technology Group. "The availability of critical IT services which drive business outcomes affects the way their organizations operate and compete in the future. As a result, CIOs are taking an increasingly collaborative approach to managing their IT assets by partnering with accomplished MSPs like Converged Technology Group that have a proven track record for delivering best-in-class managed services. This is one of the reasons we are so proud to be counted among the world's top managed service providers, particularly so in a year when MSPmentor tightened the reins on its criteria for inclusion in this prestigious list."

The 2016 MSP 501 list is based on data collected by MSPmentor and its partner, Clarity Channel Advisors. Data was collected online from March through April 2016. The MSP 501 list recognizes top managed service providers based on metrics including recurring revenue, growth and other factors. In addition to a ranking on the MSP 501 list, every company that participated in the study has been assigned a score reflecting its intrinsic value. The measure, known as the Total Service Provider (TSP) score, evaluates an MSP's mix of revenue from various activities, including consulting, cloud, reselling and managed services.

"On behalf of Penton and MSPmentor, I would like to congratulate Converged Technology Group for its recognition as an MSP 501 honoree," says Aldrin Brown, Editor in Chief, MSPmentor. "The managed service provider market is evolving at a rapid pace and the companies showcased on the 2016 MSP 501 list represent the most agile, flexible and innovative organizations in the industry."

The complete 2016 MSP 501 list is available at MSPmentor. In addition to honoring Converged Technology Group, this year's MSP 501 list and study showcased the following:

• The top ranked MSPs in North America
• The top MSPs in Europe, the Middle East and Africa
