West Monroe Ranks Among Top North American, Global Managed Services Providers in MSPmentor 501 Global Edition

West Monroe Partners today announced that it is among the top 100 firms recognized both in North America and globally in Penton Technology’s eighth-annual MSPmentor 501 Global Edition, a distinguished list and report identifying the world’s top 501 managed service providers. West Monroe ranked #46 on the MSPmentor 200—North American Edition list, a ten spot jump from the previous year. Globally, the firm ranked #55 in the MSPmentor© 501 report.

West Monroe views “managed services” very differently and believes strong, efficiently run core systems are the foundation on which a business endures, grows and innovates. When run well, businesses are better positioned to achieve and exceed business objectives. The firm’s Performance Services practice provides clients application & data management, as well as core data center operations supported by a service desk focused on outstanding customer experience.

 “Our Performance Services team is dedicated to helping clients to break down barriers between their IT organization and business teams to deliver high-quality programs, efficiently,” said Nate Ulery, Senior Director of Performance Services. “Our Performance Services team wears many gloves to ensure systems and processes are running at peak performance and customer service is exceeding expectations.”

Supported by a full-service business process and technology consultancy practice, West Monroe’s Performance Services practice offers strategic advice and support to business and IT leaders on matters ranging from customer service, service level expectations, business operations improvement, IT risk management, disaster recovery, and compliance.  

Each year, MSPmentor gathers information for its annual rankings through the participation of managed service providers and IT service providers in our annual survey.
