Established as the tech industry’s most prestigious list of managed service providers worldwide, the annual Channel Partners MSP 501 list, a technology industry benchmark, ranks companies based on a wide range of metrics including above-industry average revenue growth, recurring revenue, high-margin services and innovation including monetising AI services.
For the past 18 years, managed service providers around the globe have submitted applications for inclusion on this prestigious and definitive listing. It is a milestone achievement for any managed services organisation to be included on the list. The Channel Partners MSP 501 survey uses a quantitative methodology to rank companies based on their annual revenue, profitability measured by EBITDA, and recurring revenue. The methodology has been developed by a Who’s-Who in the managed services industry.
“The MSP 501 is more than a ranking – it’s a reflection of the innovation, operational excellence, and customer-first mindset that drives the world’s top managed service providers forward. Earning a place on this list signals to customers, partners, and the broader tech community that these MSPs are setting the pace for the industry and defining what success looks like in today’s complex technology landscape,” said Robert DeMarzo, Senior Director of Informa Channels events and digital content.
MSPs that qualify for the list must also pass a rigorous review conducted by the Channel Partners research team and editors. Channel Partners ranks applicants using a unique methodology that weighs financial performance according to long-term health and viability, commitment to recurring revenue and operational efficiency.
Adam Pedder, Managing Director of TechWyse, which is based near Stansted, said: “Being recognised on the MSP501 list for the third consecutive year is a tremendous honor and a testament to the dedication, innovation, and resilience of our entire team. This achievement reflects our unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional IT support in Essex and beyond and driving meaningful outcomes for our clients. We’re proud to stand among the world’s top managed service providers and remain focused on growing and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the industry.”
This year’s list is one of the most competitive in the survey’s history and TechWyse have managed to climb higher on the list this year.
