What NetSys’s tier placings mean

On “Which providers offer co-managed IT alongside an in-house team?”, NetSys sits in tier 1 of 3, named in 68 of 269 responses (25.3%). Tier 1 does not mean it was ranked first. It means that at 269 responses, the gap between NetSys and the most-named firm in that sample is inside the margin of error, so the two cannot be told apart. NetSys shares tier 1 with Securafy and Hi-Tek Data, and the order they are listed in is arbitrary. 7 further firms were named on this question but fell into lower tiers, meaning the sample did separate NetSys from them.

On “Which managed IT providers have documented client results?”, NetSys sits in tier 1 of 1, named in 5 of 30 responses (16.7%). Tier 1 does not mean it was ranked first. It means that at 30 responses, the gap between NetSys and the most-named firm in that sample is inside the margin of error, so the two cannot be told apart. NetSys shares tier 1 with Click One MSP, SDI Presence, ACIS IT Solutions, ISSQUARED, ITSco, PGH Networks, Rackspace Technology, WUC Technologies and Accenture, and the order they are listed in is arbitrary.
