Annual MSP 501 Identifies Best-in-Class Global MSP Businesses & Leading Trends in Managed Services
JULY 28, 2020: Ashton Technology Solutions has been named as one of the world’s premier managed service providers and one of the top MSPs in Ohio on the prestigious 2020 annual Channel Futures MSP 501 rankings.
For the 13th year, MSPs from around the globe completed an exhaustive survey and application this spring to self-report product offerings, annual total and recurring revenues, profits, revenue mix, growth opportunities and company and customer demographic information. Applicants are ranked on a unique methodology that weights revenue figures according to long-term health and viability; commitment to recurring revenue; and operational efficiency.
Channel Futures is pleased to name Ashton Technology Solutions to the 2020 MSP 501.
“The Ashton team is extremely pleased to be named to this year’s MSP 501 list,” said Jim Millican, Ashton Technology Solutions President and Founder. “To be included with friends, colleagues, and peers from around the world is a daily reminder of not only our success, but also our commitment to clients.”
In the 13 years since its inception, the MSP 501 has evolved from a competitive ranking list into a vibrant group of service providers, vendors, distributors, consultants and industry analysts working together to define the growing managed service opportunity.
“These benchmarks are what local businesses should examine when choosing a managed service provider with the experience, skill set, business knowledge and defined strategy to help them succeed in this fast-changing digital landscape,” says Kris Blackmon, Senior Content Director, Channel Partners and Channel Futures. “Considering all of the managed service providers in Greater Cleveland, let alone, Ohio, Ashton Solutions stands as a shining example of excellence.”
Ten MSP 501 special award winners will be recognized at the MSP 501 Awards Gala at Channel Partners Virtual: Digital Events for the Modern Channel on September 8 – 10. Nominations for these special awards, including Digital Innovator of the Year, Executive of the Year and the Newcomer Award, were included in the MSP 501 application, and all candidates were encouraged to submit for them.
