CCS Climbs 101 Spots on 2026 MSP 501, Earning Recognition Among the World's Top Managed Service Providers

HAUPPAUGE, NY, UNITED STATES, July 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- CCS has earned a coveted spot among the world's elite managed service providers (MSPs), securing recognition on the 2026 MSP 501—the technology industry's most rigorous and respected ranking of MSP excellence. In a year marked by unprecedented competition and rapid industry transformation, CCS has proven its ability to deliver exceptional results, demonstrating the financial strength, operational excellence, and innovative capabilities that set industry leaders apart.

MSP Summit is pleased to name CCS to the 2026 MSP 501 with an impressive 101-place jump from 2025 to 2026. This demonstrates CCS’s client-first approach to technology innovation and the impact of its investments in cybersecurity, AI consulting, and managed services.

"Being recognized on the 2026 MSP 501 is a reflection of our commitment to helping organizations navigate one of the most transformative periods in technology history. As cybersecurity threats become more sophisticated and artificial intelligence reshapes how businesses operate, our role extends far beyond traditional IT support,” says Jay Whitchurch, CEO, CCS. “We are focused on serving as a trusted strategic partner—helping clients strengthen their security posture, harness the power of AI responsibly, and build resilient technology environments that drive innovation and growth. This recognition validates the expertise of our team, the trust our clients place in us, and our vision for delivering technology solutions that create lasting business value."

"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 MSPs 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."

"The MSP 501 represents far more than a ranking—it's the definitive benchmark for excellence in the managed services industry, and a reflection of our unwavering commitment to serving the channel community," said Kelly Danziger, General Manager, Channel Partners and MSP Summit. "Our team works year-round to provide the insights, connections, and platforms that empower MSPs to grow and thrive in an ever-evolving market. Backed by the power of Informa, a global leader in live events, digital platforms, and research, we leverage unparalleled industry expertise and data-driven intelligence to deliver programs like the MSP 501 that truly matter.

The MSP 501 represents the best in the technology services industry, delivering outstanding vendor- and platform-neutral advice and value to small, midsized, and enterprise customers. This year, the MSP 501 averaged more than $32 million in revenue. The 501 MSPs on the list averaged 10% revenue growth, and recurring revenue made up almost 60% of total revenue.
