Network Center, Inc. Named to CRN’s MSP 500 List for 2025

Fargo, North Dakota, February 10, 2025 — Network Center, Inc., Innovative IT Solutions announced today that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has recognized Network Center, Inc. on its Managed Service Provider (MSP) 500 list in the Pioneer 250 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; 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.

Network Center, Inc. (NCI) has been in the business of IT solutions and services for 35+ years and proudly employee owned since 2014. NCI continues to be chosen by customers due to their customer first approach and long-tenured staff and leadership. Two things that set NCI’s FlexCare Managed Services apart: no long-term contracts and menu-driven structure. The FlexCare model allows customers the freedom to work in partnership instead of rigid multi-year terms. In addition, FlexCare’s menu-driven structure allows customers to completely tailor plans to individual needs and budget. CRN is excited to award the NCI team with CRN’s 2025 MSP 500 Award.

“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.”

NCI President, Ben Carlsrud, shares: “Being recognized in CRN’s MSP Pioneer 250 list is a testament to our team’s ability to deliver on one of our core values, Dedication to Customer Success.  Providing an exceptional customer experience is at the heart of everything we do. NCI does not lock our customers into a long-term agreement, which means we have to prove ourselves every single day.  This recognition reflects our entire team’s commitment to our customers.” 

The MSP 500 list will be featured in the February 2025 issue of CRN Magazine and online at www.crn.com/msp500 beginning February 10.
