For the past 17 years, managed service providers around the globe have submitted applications for inclusion on this prestigious and definitive listing. The Channel Futures MSP 501 survey examines organizational performance based on annual sales, recurring revenue, profit margins, revenue mix, growth, innovation and supported technologies.
MSPs that qualify for the list must pass a rigorous review conducted by the research team and editors of Channel Futures. It ranks applicants using a unique methodology that weighs financial performance according to long-term health and viability, commitment to recurring revenue and operational efficiency.
Channel Futures is pleased to name Align to the 2023 MSP 501.
“We take great pride in our inclusion among the distinguished ranks of the world’s top 100 Managed Service Providers. This honor is a testament to the unwavering dedication of our team in consistently delivering exceptional service to our valued clients, and our steadfast commitment to the financial services sector,” said Vinod Paul, Chief Operating Officer, Align Managed Services. “We remain focused on delivering cutting-edge solutions to our clients that redefine industry standards, ensuring that we constantly push the boundaries of excellence.”
This year’s list is one of the most competitive in the survey’s history. Align along with the other award recipients will be recognized on the Channel Futures website and honored during a special ceremony at the Channel Futures Leadership Summit, Oct. 30-Nov. 2, in Miami, Florida.
Since its inception, the MSP 501 has evolved from a competitive ranking into a vibrant group of innovators focused on high levels of customer satisfaction at small, medium and large organizations in public and private sectors. Many of their services and technology offerings focus on customer needs in the areas of cloud, security, collaboration and hybrid work forces.
“The 2023 Channel Futures MSP 501 winners persevered through challenging times to become the highest-performing and most innovative IT providers in the industry today,” said Jeff O’Heir, Channel Futures senior news editor and MSP 501 project manager. “The MSP 501 ranking doesn’t award MSPs solely on their size and revenue. It acknowledges the business acumen, best practices and trusted advice they deliver to customers every day. They deserve the honor.”
Chris Zadrima, Managing Director of Align Managed Services comments, “We are honored to be recognized as one of the most distinguished market influences in the global MSP space and our client vertical. This honor serves as validation to our growth strategy, ability to scale to meet our client’s technology needs in an everchanging IT landscape and reflects the hard work and commitment of our team who make stellar, wholistic IT support real for our esteemed clients.”
