Charleston-based IT provider earns another spot among the world’s top managed service providers as they lead clients into the AI era.
Charleston, SC – September 18, 2026: Stasmayer, a Managed IT services provider serving businesses for more than two decades, today announced it has been named to the 2026 Channel Futures MSP 501, one of the industry’s most prestigious ranking of managed service providers worldwide. This marks another consecutive appearance on the list for Stasmayer, which has also earned repeated recognition among the top rankings of their industry.
The MSP 501 evaluates thousands of applicants on growth, profitability, innovation, and operational excellence. Stasmayer’ s placement reflects 23 years of steady performance across multiple economic cycles — and a client base that includes companies who have partnered with the firm since its founding.
For the past 19 years, the MSP 501 has stood apart from simple revenue rankings by demanding a comprehensive analysis of financial performance, operational efficiency, and business health, making it the gold standard for identifying the world’s best-run managed service providers. Unlike traditional lists that reward size alone, the MSP 501 recognizes organizations that demonstrate sustainable growth, recurring revenue strength, profit optimization, and the strategic discipline that defines true industry leadership.
“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 managed service providers 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.”
MSP Summit is pleased to name Stasmayer to the 2026 MSP 501.
“This award belongs to our clients,” said Rick Krenmayer, co-founder and CEO of Stasmayer. “Some of them have trusted us for 23 years, and that loyalty is what keeps us reaching. We tell our team every week that we’re doing nothing less than landing on the moon and Mars for our clients — and we mean it. Now, with AI, there has never been a better time to own and operate a business. This is the time to be alive! We’re ready to show our clients the way.”
Stasmayer sees the current wave of AI tools as the most significant shift in business technology since the iPhone and probably even the computer itself and is actively expanding its services to help clients put those tools to work.
“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. This recognition celebrates not just the achievements of these exceptional providers, but the collaborative ecosystem we’ve built together to drive the channel forward.”
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. Many of their services and technology offerings focus on customer needs in the areas of security, cloud, AI, collaboration, networking, help desk, and remote monitoring and management.
