3rd Element Recognized on CRN’s 2023 MSP 500 List

Mechanicsburg, PA, February 15, 2023 — 3rd Element Consulting, announced today that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named 3rd Element Consulting to its Managed Service Provider (MSP) 500 list in the Pioneer 250 category for 2023. 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.

As a WBENC certified woman owned MSP, 3rd Element provides IT services to businesses of all sizes from SMB to enterprise.

As an MSP we can work with a business to select the level of service they need based on their environment, staff, and criticality of their situation,” explained David Sizer, VP and CTO.  “3rd Element can be an organization’s entire IT team and CIO/CTO, or we are able to co-manage the IT with a business’ internal IT staff.  We do the heavy lifting so they can work on business strategy.”

“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 2023 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.”

“3rd Element is honored to once again be considered a Pioneer 250 company.  There are more than 40,000 MSPs in the United States, and to be among the top 250 says a lot about the value and quality we deliver for our clients.  3rd Element’s first value is Awesome Comes Standard, we have embodied that,” said Dawn Sizer, CEO of 3rd Element.

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