Despite some depressing economic data from small businesses, there’s good news in the IT channel. Indeed, several hundred IT service providers — including numerous MSPmentor 100 companies — have landed on this year’s Inc. 5000 list, which tracks the fastest-growing privately held companies in the United States.
Fandotech LLC — an MSPmentor 100 company based in Connecticut — will wrap up its fiscal year on June 30. It’s a year that President and CEO John Boyd considers a “reemergence” — a sign that that U.S. economy is on the rebound and Fandotech is gaining steam, thanks to a RAIN cloud strategy and a continued managed services focus.

The company rode out the recession with minor pains, and a branded Fandotech cloud service — called RAIN — is helping the company to maintain clear focus and consistent messaging. Boyd certainly sounds upbeat about Fandotech’s business outlook. Here’s the update.
