Huntsville, Ala. — June 26, 2026 — Summit 7 is proud to announce its placement as #25 on the 2026 MSP Summit’s MSP 501 list, a respected and competitive global ranking in the managed services industry.
For the past 19 years, the MSP 501 has stood apart from simple revenue rankings by demanding a comprehensive analysis of financial performance, operational efficiency, and business health. Unlike traditional lists that reward size alone, the MSP 501 recognizes organizations that demonstrate sustainable growth, recurring revenue strength, profit optimization, and the strategic discipline that defines true industry leadership.
“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.”
It is a milestone achievement to rank as high as #25 on a list of 501 exceptional companies. The MSP 501 survey uses a quantitative methodology developed in collaboration with industry-leading experts, the MSP Summit Board, and past MSP 501 winners. The ranking rewards MSPs with long-term financial health and viability, commitment to recurring revenue, and operational efficiency. The MSP 501 recognizes managed service providers that demonstrate technical excellence, business efficiency, and consistent growth. Companies on this year’s list were evaluated using a methodology that analyzes revenue mix and quality, recurring revenue strength, operational performance, and long‑term stability.
“We’re honored to be recognized among the top managed service providers worldwide,” said Scott Edwards, CEO of Summit 7. “We’ve earned our MSP 501 ranking through the strength of our team, the trust of our customers, and our commitment to securing the nation’s most sensitive data.”
Summit 7’s high ranking in the MSP 501 affirms the company’s role as a strategic partner to organizations navigating complex compliance and security requirements.
