For the past 15 years, MSPs from around the globe have submitted applications to be included on this prestigious and definitive listing. This year’s list attracted a record number of applicants and was one of the most competitive in the survey’s history.
Managed service providers that qualify for the list must pass a rigorous review conducted by the research team and editors of Channel Futures that rank applicants using a unique methodology that weighs financial performance according to long-term health and viability, commitment to recurring revenue, and operational efficiency. The Channel Futures MSP 501 survey examines organization performance based on annual sales, recurring revenue, profit margins, revenue mix, growth opportunities, innovation, technology solutions support, and company and customer demographics.
415 Group has been selected as one of the technology industry’s top-performing providers of managed services by the editors of Channel Futures once again. “The entire 415 Group IT team is ecstatic,” said David Besse, Partner in Charge of IT at 415 Group. “We are proud to have earned a spot on the Channel Futures MSP 501 list for a fourth year in a row.”
Since its inception, the MSP 501 list has evolved from a competitive ranking into a vibrant group of innovators focused on high levels of customer satisfaction. Today, many of their services and technology offerings focus on growing customer needs in the areas of cloud, security, collaboration, and support of hybrid work forces.
“The 2021 Channel Futures MSP 501 winners are the highest-performing and most innovative IT providers in the industry today. They stand head and shoulders above the competition,” said Robert DeMarzo, vice president of content for the Channel Futures and Channel Partners Conference & Expo division of Informa Tech Channels. “Coordinated by Channel Futures MSP 501 editor Allison Francis, this year’s list was clearly one of the best ever on record.”
“Vendors that are aligned with the Channel Futures MSP 501 are driving a new wave of innovation in the industry. Through their partnerships they are demonstrating a commitment to moving the MSP and entire channel forward,” said Kelly Danzinger, a general manager of Informa Tech Channels. “We extend our heartfelt congratulations to the 2021 winners and gratitude to the thousands of MSPs that have contributed to the continuing growth and success of the managed service sector.”
