New York, New York – November 14, 2023 – Align, the premier global provider of technology infrastructure solutions and Managed IT Services, announces today that it has been named 2023 Managed Service Provider of the year by Channel Futures, the global industry authority in managed services.

Align became eligible for the award by ranking 60th in the 2023 Channel Futures MSP 501. While the general Channel Futures MSP award is based primarily on annual sales, recurring revenue, and profit margins, the MSP of the Year Award is given to a firm that demonstrate business model innovation and excellence in business efficiency and agility in the face of an evolving market. The awards go to the industry’s high-performance and high-achieving MSPs that not only place prominently on the Channel Futures MSP 501 list but go above and beyond when it comes to customer expertise, employee satisfaction, relationships with vendors and suppliers, and commitment to improving the MSP industry. While the Channel Futures MSP 501 rankings are determined by a complex methodology that factors in many business metrics, the MSP of the Year award goes beyond, looking for MSPs that truly set themselves apart from all others.

The finalists for this year's MSP of the Year Award include remarkable organizations and executives who have made a significant impact on the managed services landscape. Among other factors, Align was recognized for their ability to maintain a keen understanding of clients' needs, and provide industry specific guidance on due diligence standards and regulatory requirements set forth by the SEC.

Channel Futures employs a rigorous methodology to compile the MSP 501 rankings, and the MSP of the Year Award delves even deeper, focusing on those who go the extra mile to elevate the industry.

Applications for the Special Awards undergo an initial review by the Channel Futures editorial team and are then presented to a distinguished panel of judges, comprising esteemed figures in the channel. These judges meticulously assess the merits of each application, casting their votes to determine the standout individual or organization deserving of each award.

Chris Zadrima, Managing Director of Align Managed Services comments, “We are dedicated to the ongoing enhancement of the client experience, emphasizing the integration of technology as not only a pivotal element in daily operations but also a defining factor in the success of our clients' businesses.”

Award recipients, including Align, were formally acknowledged on the Channel Futures website and received accolades during an exclusive ceremony at the Channel Futures Leadership Summit, held from October 30 to November 2 in Miami, Florida. The ceremony, attended by hundreds of prominent MSPs, marked the introduction of the latest cohort of winners.
