Ten years ago I was a mere 53 years of age in 2010. Some news I remember was the start of the "War for A4" MFPs, Ricoh launched APP2ME (gone but not forgotten) and Canon purchased Oce for $1 Billion dollars (Oce brand is now gone also).

AWS 2024 MSP Partner of the Year finalist ascends into CRN's Elite 150 category for the first time.

SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- nClouds, a Premier Tier Services Partner in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Partner Network (APN) and AWS Managed Services Provider Partner (MSP), announced today that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has recognized nClouds on its Managed Service Provider (MSP) 500 list in the Elite 150 category for 2025. nClouds was previously named to CRN's annual MSP 500 list in 2021–2024, with 2025 marking the first time nClouds has ascended to the Elite 150 category that recognizes MSPs serving midmarket and enterprise customers.

CRN's annual MSP 500 list showcases and celebrates MSPs that are driving growth and innovation. These solution providers empower businesses with complex technologies to achieve their business goals without stretching financial resources.

"The solution providers on our 2025 MSP 500 list deliver innovative managed services portfolios that enable clients of every size to be more agile and optimize their IT budgets as they grow their business," said Jennifer Follett, VP of U.S. content and executive editor CRN at The Channel Company. "These are the companies that anticipate client tech needs and develop groundbreaking services and solutions that let customers focus on their core business so they can accelerate success."

"We're intently listening to our customers — and investing to build the services they need to achieve their business goals," said Kelly Chamberlain, nClouds CEO. "This recognition [from CRN] feels good for our team, customers and partners — as signposts along the way to what great service looks like."

CRN's 2025 recognition follows an exciting 2024 for nClouds' MSP business. In December, AWS named nClouds a finalist for AWS MSP Partner of the Year, recognizing nClouds as a top AWS managed service provider (MSP) globally. Also in 2024, nClouds achieved its annual recertification as an AWS MSP Partner, a status it has maintained since 2016, reaffirming a deep understanding of AWS best practices, proficiency in leveraging cutting-edge technologies and a successful track record in driving digital transformations for its clients.

"nClouds is responsive, proactive and communicative," said Peter Hayes, practice director of a managed services department at a leading consulting company, an nClouds customer. "They bring the right people to get the job done at the right time and have evolved into a trusted partner."
