MSP Perspectives: Lists, Rankings, and Hard Decisions

Channel Partner MSP 501
July, 14th, 2026, by Kevin Anderson – MSPwiz Founder & CEO

In late June & early July, the Channel Partners MSP 501 2026 list was released, listing the world’s top managed service providers. This list is a big deal for MSPs, providing a data-driven ranking and, to a certain extent, stamp of approval, from an important industry organization. And MSPs of all sizes dream of making lists like this and improving their rankings year over year. 

As a former MSP owner and operator, I still get excited when these rankings come out and enjoy seeing who made the top 10 and reading up on all the players. Yet as the founder and CEO of MSPwiz, I’m reminded of how difficult/terrifying/seemingly impossible it has been for companies needing outsourced IT support to properly survey the field, vet the players, and select the best one for their business. 

Think about it: Top 500 listings among a field of 50,000+ MSPs in North America alone – with global numbers estimated at 150,000+. That’s a lot of MSPs and, frankly, too much choice for a small business – who, by the way, is looking for one MSP – to handle on its own. 

That’s why I founded MSPwiz. By asking MSPs and the customers seeking their services the right questions, and feeding those inputs into an AI-powered platform custom-built for matching customer IT support needs with MSPwiz capabilities, we’ve been able to let AI crunch the big numbers so customers can get to the one number that matters most to them: the single MSP they select. 

Congratulations to all the MSPs who made this year’s list. For businesses wanting to work with the right one, MSPwiz is ready and available to do the heavy lifting.
