Channel Futures Global MSP 501 — the world's most comprehensive managed service provider ranking

Official Recognition — Channel Futures Global MSP 501

The MSP 501 is the most comprehensive and widely recognised ranking of managed service providers worldwide, published annually by Channel Futures. Selection is based on revenue, growth, profitability, and depth of service offerings.

A Global Benchmark Achievement

Affinity MSP has been named in the Channel Futures Global MSP 501 for 2026 — the world's most prestigious ranking of managed service providers. This recognition places Affinity MSP alongside the elite tier of global IT service companies and affirms what Australian businesses have already experienced firsthand: a category-defining standard of service delivery.

The MSP 501 programme evaluates thousands of providers across metrics including revenue growth, service breadth, operational maturity, and client outcomes. Only a fraction of applicants earn a place on the final list. For an Australian provider to secure global recognition in a field dominated by North American and European incumbents is a significant milestone for the local industry.

Affinity MSP's inclusion reflects years of investment in cybersecurity-first infrastructure, a relentless focus on response time benchmarks, and a service model built around long-term client partnerships rather than transactional engagements.
