"Being named to MSP Summit's 2026 MSPs to Watch list is a reflection of the work our entire team does every day for the businesses we serve," said Igor Pinchevskiy, CEO of IT Support LA.

This recognition affirms that approach."

This year's list is a strengthened and elevated initiative recognizing 130 exceptional managed service providers that demonstrate world-class operational performance and strategic vision. This prestigious designation celebrates organizations that have mastered the MSP business model, execute at the highest operational levels, and represent the future of managed services in an AI-dominated channel.
MSPs to Watch identifies the fastest-growing channel partners in managed services, organizations that combine operational excellence with innovation and agility. As part of the MSP 501 program, these companies undergo the same rigorous proprietary methodology review, evaluated on revenue mix quality, recurring revenue percentages, revenue per employee efficiency, and year-over-year growth performance.

"They represent the future of managed services, agile, innovative organizations that are redefining what's possible in an AI-driven channel. The operational excellence and strategic vision they demonstrate today positions them as the industry leaders of tomorrow."
The MSPs to Watch designation validates that these organizations possess sound business models, efficient operations, and strategies aligned with industry direction. Many demonstrate exceptional performance across key metrics including high recurring revenue percentages, strong growth rates, superior efficiency ratios, and innovative service portfolios that set new standards for the industry.
These organizations serve as powerful examples of how breakthrough service models, advanced technology adoption, and innovative go-to-market strategies are reshaping the managed services landscape. As AI-based technologies enable organizations to provide world-class tech support, help desk, consulting, and IT services, MSPs to Watch companies are leading the charge in leveraging these capabilities to deliver exceptional value to their customers.
The MSPs to Watch designation serves as a powerful signal to customers, partners, employees, and investors that these organizations have been independently validated against industry-leading benchmarks. This recognition provides meaningful differentiation in a competitive market, highlighting organizations that are addressing today's most pressing technology challenges and opportunities with innovation and excellence.
"The MSPs to Watch list is a declaration of companies that have mastered the fundamentals of the MSP business model and are executing at the highest levels of operational excellence. These are the organizations that represent the future of our industry," said Robert DeMarzo, Content Leader, Informa Channels. "MSPs to Watch companies are building businesses for sustainable growth, combining agility and innovation with operational discipline.
