MORRIS, IL, UNITED STATES, October 5, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Simple Communications, a Morris-based provider of managed IT, business phone, and cybersecurity services, has been named to MSP Summit's 2026 MSPs to Watch list. The company, which has been recognized among 130 managed service providers, marks 20 years of supporting local organizations with the technology they rely on every day. Founded in 2006 by Eric and Sarah Peterson as Peterson Computer Consulting, the business began as a VoIP phone-services company. In January 2017, the IT and phone services operations were combined under the Simple Communications name.
Headquartered in Morris, Illinois, at 118 E. Jackson Street, Simple Communications serves businesses, enterprises, and nonprofit organizations across Grundy, LaSalle, Kendall, and Will counties. The company's recognition comes as it evaluates its performance using the same methodology applied to the MSP 501 program. The evaluation considers revenue mix, recurring revenue, revenue per employee, and year-over-year growth. For 20 years, local businesses have trusted Simple Communications with the technology that keeps them connected and productive. Being named an MSP to Watch recognizes the work the company's people do every day to deliver responsive support and practical technology guidance to the communities they serve.
Simple Communications has come a long way since its founding. From a small VoIP phone-services business to a comprehensive managed IT provider, the company has consistently supported local organizations. The MSPs to Watch list is presented alphabetically rather than as a ranked list, highlighting Simple Communications' growth and operational performance. The recognition comes as the company marks 20 years of service, a significant milestone in its history.
The company's journey began with Peterson Computer Consulting, a name that reflects its early focus on responsive, high-quality support for small and medium-sized businesses. The transition to Simple Communications in 2017 marked a significant shift, bringing together the IT and phone services under a single, cohesive brand. Today, Simple Communications provides a wide range of services, including managed IT services, VoIP phone systems, cybersecurity, data backup, networking, and ongoing technology support.
