[Omaha, Neb. - July 28, 2001] - MSI Systems Integrators has been named to the 2001 VARBusiness 500, the industry's definitive ranking by revenue of the top 500 Solution Providers, Internet services companies, consultants, and integrators in North America. With 2000 value-added technology and service revenues of 91.1 million, MSI is #290 on the list.

Published in the June 25th issue of VARBusiness, MSI rank was determined after an exhaustive research project in which editors studied the business models and finances of the universe of IT professional service organizations. The list was narrowed down to the 500 companies with the greatest revenues coming from technology services and products.

"The firms that comprise the VARBusiness 500 are more than just the leading Solution Providers in the technology industry," said Michael R. Uliss, publisher of VARBusiness. "Through their strategic decisions, technology choices, and recommendations to customers, this exclusive list of companies exerts a major influence not only on the digital economy but on the overall economy as well."

"Our growth goes hand in hand with the many 'Industry Firsts' we've experienced this past year," said Jim Simpson, president of MSI Systems Integrators. "These firsts include being one of the first five IBM Total Storage Solution Centers (TSSC) in North America, being selected as one of the first IBM WebSphere Innovation Centers and being one of the first to receive Cisco's IP Telephony Specialization. All of these achievements allow us to better serve our clients and maintain a prosperous business."
