CDS recognized as an Elite 150 Managed Service Provider.

Springfield, IL, February 25, 2025 — CDS Office Technologies, a fullstack business technology solutions provider based in Illinois, announced today that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has recognized CDS Office Technologies on its Managed Service Provider (MSP) 500 list in the Elite 150 category for 2025.

CRN’s annual MSP 500 list is a comprehensive guide to the leading MSPs in North America. These companies deliver essential managed services that enhance business efficiency, simplify IT, and optimize return on technology investments for their customers.

The annual MSP 500 list is divided into three sections: the Pioneer 250, which recognizes MSPs focused on the small-and-midsize-business market; the Elite 150, recognizing MSPs with a blend of on- and offpremises services for mostly midmarket and enterprise customers; and the Managed Security 100, spotlighting MSPs with cloud-based security services expertise.

The MSP 500 list showcases and celebrates MSPs that are driving growth and innovation. These solution providers empower businesses with complex technologies so they can achieve their business goals without stretching financial resources.

CDS Office Technologies has a keen focus on streamlining its Managed Security Services offerings from A-Z. CDS has noted from 2023 and 2024 that a strong cybersecurity offering is a primary decision-making factor for modern businesses who are selecting a new MSP or MSSP. The success of 2025 ultimately depends on 3 years of efforts from 2022-2024, where CDS has completely revamped its Managed Services. In this time period, CDS has established strong partnerships with the best cybersecurity vendors in the market, improved proposals and contracts, and improved onboarding processes to ensure CDS’s clients experience faster access to security and support teams.

“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.”

“CDS is excited to see our hard work, efforts, and diligence recognized by the industry and were well pleased to find we had been added to the CRN MSP 500 list for 2025. We appreciate CRN’s recognition of CDS Office Technologies and we look forward to future contributions we can make to the industry as a whole. I think our inclusion in the MSP 500 list speaks well of our company and our amazing team here at CDS and is also sign of many more great things to come, in 2025 and beyond.” — Josh Ditto | Chief Technology Officer | CDS Office Technologies.
