The fast and furious pace of last week’s Channel Partners Conference & Expo – which included a lot of conversations about the Channel Futures MSP 501 – convinced us to extend the deadline for submitting an application for this year’s list. But you don’t have long. Dig in over the weekend and get your MSP 501 application in by 8 p.m. ET, Monday, May 15. That’s our final deadline. Don’t miss your chance to be part of the IT industry’s most prestigious and widely followed ranking of the world’s best, brightest and most innovative managed service providers.

For 17 years, the MSP 501 designation has served as the official badge of the channels’ most important managed service providers. Thousands of MSPs have relied on the rank to open customers’ doors, drive sales and gain bargaining power with their vendors. They have used it to celebrate the hard work of all their team members and attract new employees. Most of all, MSP 501 membership officially certifies the hard work, innovation and business acumen of the managed service providers that drive the industry to new heights every year.
