Annual MSP 501 recognizes the technology industry's top-performing managed service providers.
NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 21, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Technology Lab has been named No. 302 on the 2026 MSP 501, the technology industry's most rigorous and respected ranking of managed service providers worldwide. The recognition marks Technology Lab's highest placement to date and reflects the company's continued growth, operational excellence, and commitment to helping K-12 schools make smarter technology investments.
For the past 19 years, the MSP 501 has stood apart from traditional industry rankings by evaluating managed service providers on far more than revenue. Developed using a comprehensive, quantitative methodology, the list recognizes organizations that demonstrate strong financial performance, operational maturity, recurring revenue, profitability, and long-term business health. As a result, the MSP 501 has become the industry's gold standard for identifying the world's best-run managed service providers.
"The 2026 MSP 501 winners represent the highest-performing and most innovative IT providers in the industry today. Everyone wants to be a 501 because they stand head and shoulders above the competition," said Robert DeMarzo, Vice President of Content, Channel Events. "Today's managed services organizations serve as the backbone to the world's small, medium, and large organizations, and the MSP 501 sets the standard for all other MSPs. These managed service providers aren't just keeping pace with the industry; they're actively shaping the future of managed services. Making the MSP 501 list is a testament to their commitment to operational excellence, innovation, and their ability to deliver exceptional value to their clients in an increasingly complex technology landscape."
Being named to the MSP 501 is considered one of the managed services industry's highest honors. The survey methodology, developed in collaboration with industry experts, the MSP Summit Board, and past MSP 501 winners, rewards organizations that demonstrate sustained financial strength, operational efficiency, and a commitment to recurring revenue. This year's honorees averaged more than $32 million in annual revenue, with recurring revenue accounting for nearly 60 percent of total revenue.
Technology Lab's placement at No. 302 represents its highest ranking since first being recognized on the MSP 501 and underscores the company's continued investment in delivering secure, strategic technology solutions for K-12 schools.
"We're honored to earn our highest ranking yet on the MSP 501," said James Pope, Chief Revenue Officer of Technology Lab. "This recognition reflects the trust our school partners place in us every day and the dedication of our entire team. As schools face growing cybersecurity threats, evolving technologies, and increasing demands on their IT resources, we're committed to helping them make strategic technology investments that improve security, reliability, and the educational experience."
This year's MSP 501 was among the most competitive in the program's history. Winners will be recognized on the MSP Summit website and honored during the MSP 501 Awards Gala at MSP Summit, September 28-30, 2026, in Orlando, Florida.
