According to Channel Futures, MSPs were ranked according to their unique methodology, which recognizes that not all revenue streams are created equal. Revenue figures were weighted according to how well the applicant’s business strategy anticipates trends in the fast-evolving channel ecosystem.

“This year’s applicant pool was the largest and most diverse in the history of the survey, and our winners reflect the health and progressivity of the managed services market,” says Kris Blackmon, Channel Futures content director and editor of the MSP 501. “They’re growing their revenue, expanding their customer influence and exploring new technology that will propel them for years to come.”

The full MSP 501 report, available this fall, will be based on applicant responses, interviews and historical data to identify business and technology trends in the IT channel.
