GRANDVILLE – Trivalent Group ranked 54 on Nine Lives Media Inc.’s fifth annual MSPmentor 100 Global Edition, a distinguished list and research report identifying the world?s top 100 managed service providers.

This year?s MSPmentor 100 report has been expanded to include MSPs from North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, New Zeeland and Australia.

?We are honored to be among the top managed service providers worldwide for a third time,? said Trivalent Group CEO Larry Andrus. ?It?s a significant accomplishment and speaks volumes about our team and business operations.?

The MSPmentor 100 report, available at MSPMentor is based on data from MSPmentor?s global online survey, conducted from October to December 2011. The MSPmentor 100 report recognizes top managed service providers based on a range of metrics, including annual managed services revenue growth, revenue per employee, managed services offered and customer devices managed.

?Nine Lives Media Inc. and MSPmentor congratulate Trivalent Group for earning this distinguished honor,? said Amy Katz, president of Nine Lives Media Inc, a division of Penton Media. ?As our expanded survey results reveal, the annual MSPmentor 100 survey attracts MSPs from across the globe. Qualifying for our MSPmentor 100 Global Edition List is a great accomplishment.?

?MSP?s on this year?s global 100 list lifted their annual reoccurring revenues 28 percent to $1.04 billion, an incredible showing considering the economic uncertainty all IT services providers faced,? added Joe Panettieri, editorial director of Nine Lives Media. ?Those MSPs are now managing 2.7 million desktop and mobile devices for customers, an incredible jump of 50 percent from 2010.?
