Timonium, MD­ Helion Technologies announced that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company has named Helion to its 2020 Managed Service Provider (MSP) 500 list in the Security 100 category. This popular list identifies North American solution providers that deliver operational efficiencies, IT system improvements, and a higher rate of return on investments for their customers. These accomplished MSPs work tirelessly to guide their customers and create solutions for complex IT issues. 

Security is a growing concern for our dealership clients for many reasons, including the prevalence of new consumer data privacy laws and increased risk of cyberattacks.

This annual list is divided into three categories: the MSP Pioneer 250 who are focused primarily on the SMB market; the MSP Elite 150, large data center-focused on- and off-premises; and the Managed Security 100 made up of off-premises-focused, cloud-based IT security services.

“Security is a growing concern for our dealership clients for many reasons, including the prevalence of new consumer data privacy laws and increased risk of cyberattacks,” said Erik Nachbahr, president and founder of Helion Technologies. “We are honored to be recognized for our hard work as we strive to exceed our customer expectations and provide dealers with a level of security that’s absolutely mission critical for successful business operations.”

For more than 20 years, Helion Technologies has provided end-to-end Information Technology (IT) services to automotive and heavy-duty truck dealerships. Helion takes a proactive approach to IT management, ensuring its clients’ systems are always optimized for peak performance and protected from the ever-growing threat of cyberattacks. 

“MSPs are the critical bridge for customers looking to assess, implement and migrate their IT and cloud solutions to drive efficiencies, lower costs and secure their environment,” said Bob Skelley, CEO of The Channel Company. “On behalf of our team at The Channel Company, I want to congratulate the accomplished companies on CRN’s 2020 MSP 500 list and thank them for their commitment to finding innovative solutions that move the IT channel forward.”
