Channel Futures announced its prestigious 2019 MSP 501 Worldwide Rankings today. We at Integris are pleased to announce that all four Integris locations made the MSP 501 list. Capstone IT was named No. 194, Choose Networks was named No. 249, Live Consulting was named No. 254, and Networking Results was named No. 289.
Capstone IT moved up 7 spots from #201 in 2018, and 48 spots since they first won the award in 2014. Live Consulting previously won the award in 2016. Networking Results has been on the list since 2016. This is the first appearance for Choose Networks on the MSP 501 list.
“We’re honored to be recognized as part of this elite community for the 4th year in a row”, said Jeff Howard of Networking Results. “Our employees strive to improve service delivery and client satisfaction every day, and the results have put us on this list again. I’m really proud of our team’s efforts and achievement, and of the results they deliver to our loyal clients every day.”
“Anytime you are honored by a leading organization in our industry, it is a testament to the team of individuals that make up our company.” says Chris Hoose CEO of Choose Networks. “The Choose Networks team is dedicated to delivering an exceptional user experience and it is that focus that has allowed us to grow. Making this list gives us another opportunity to thank our customers for trusting us with their IT needs and our employees for focusing on people that we serve. Thank You.”
“We want to dedicate this to our employees who do all the work and delight our customers day after day. Without their dedication to local support, managing networks and mitigating risks day after day we wouldn’t be on this list. We continue to grow due to the diligence of operations, and that diligence makes acquiring customers easy. Congratulations to everyone on the list, well deserved.” said Nick Nyberg – VP Sales – Live Consulting in a speech delivered to his team about the honor.
“We are honored to be recognized as one of the world’s Top 501 MSPs,” says Sitima Fowler, Co-CEO of Capstone IT. “Our clients rely on us to keep their network protected with the most up-to-date tools and 24/7 support, and there’s no substitute for the dedication we have to our fellow businesses. We have received this ranking because of our continuous success in managing our customers’ changing needs and helping them get the most out of their IT investments.”
“Having all four companies honored for being among the best MSPs in the world is a great way to celebrate our launch as Integris. We are very excited to celebrate our past, but look to the future to make Integris the best place to work for our employees, build raving fan customers, and continue our march forward as an industry leader,” says Mike Fowler, CEO of Integris.
In the 12 years since its inception, the MSP 501 has evolved from a competitive ranking list into a vibrant group of service providers, vendors, distributors, consultants and industry analysts working together to define the growing managed service opportunity.
“The 2019 MSP 501 winners are the most elite, innovative and strategic IT service providers on the planet, and they stand as a model of excellence in the industry,” says Kris Blackmon, Content Director of Channel Partners and Channel Futures and lead of the MSP 501 program.
“As the MSP 501 Community grows, leagues of managed service providers learn from the successes of these winning companies, gaining insight into the best practices, strategies and technologies that elevate an MSP to the level of the 501 winners. Our heartfelt congratulations to the 2019 winners and gratitude to the thousands of MSPs that have contributed to the continuing growth and success of both the 501 and the thriving managed services sector.”
In addition to deciding the rankings, the survey drives the creation of an annual in-depth study of business and technology trends in the IT channel, released each year at the Channel Partners Evolution conference. The full MSP 501 Report leverages applicant responses, interviews with industry experts and historical data to give a well-rounded picture of the managed services opportunity.
The complete 2019 MSP 501 list is available at Channel Futures.
To qualify for the 2019 MSP 501, organizations were required to submit a confidential survey application and verified 2018 financial results. “The MSP 501 uses a unique data analysis that recognizes that not all revenue streams are created equally, weighting them according to how well the applicant’s business strategy anticipates trends in this fast-evolving channel,” according to Kris Blackmon senior editor of the MSP 501.
