Inaugural list honors companies building MSP practices

December 17, 2020 (Saskatoon, CANADA) – Vendasta has been named one of the world’s premier managed service providers on the prestigious new 2020 Channel Futures NextGen 101 ranking.

The NextGen 101, an MSP 501 list, features resellers, system integrators, consultants, and other partners with recurring revenues from business models that are diversified beyond managed or cloud services.

“We are seeing rapid consolidation in the MSP, VAR, integrators, resellers and agency channels as they all evolve to meet the demands of business customers,” said Vendasta CEO Brendan King. “There has been a step function increase in demand for e-commerce, remote collaboration, and online learning, and we are proud to be named among the trailblazers providing the required infrastructure and solutions to meet the need.”

“The NextGen 101 is designed specifically to honor partners dedicating resources to building out their practices — all while maintaining the integrity of their core businesses,” said Allison Francis, editor and content producer at Channel Partners and Channel Futures. “Maybe these partners will become the MSP powerhouses of the future. Maybe they’ll continue to expand their managed services capabilities while also devoting resources to core competencies. Or maybe they’ll become a new kind of hybrid partner that isn’t yet even on our radar. We can’t wait to see what these companies will do next, and we’re excited to honor them in a list of their very own.”

The data collected by the annual MSP 501 program drives Channel Partners’ and Channel Futures’ market intelligence insights, creating robust data sets and data-based trend reports that support our editorial coverage, event programming, community and networking strategies, and educational offerings. It serves as a lynchpin to dozens of programs and initiatives.
