CDS Recognized as an Elite 150 MSP
CDS Office Technologies, a full-stack business technology solutions provider based in Illinois, announced today that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has recognized CDS 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 off-premises services for mostly midmarket and enterprise customers;
- 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 goals without stretching financial resources.
CDS Office Technologies has a keen focus on streamlining its Managed Security Services offerings from A to Z. Based on insights from 2023 and 2024, CDS recognized that a strong cybersecurity offering has become a primary decision-making factor for modern businesses when selecting an MSP or MSSP.
The success of 2025 reflects three years of strategic transformation—from 2022 to 2024—during which CDS revamped its Managed Services offerings, forged partnerships with top cybersecurity vendors, improved contracts and proposals, and enhanced onboarding processes to provide clients faster access to security and support.
“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 at CRN, 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 we were well pleased to find we had been added to the CRN MSP 500 list for 2025,” said Josh Ditto, Chief Technology Officer at CDS Office Technologies. “We appreciate CRN’s recognition of CDS and look forward to future contributions we can make to the industry as a whole. I think our inclusion speaks well of our company and our amazing team—and is a sign of many more great things to come in 2025 and beyond.”
