We’re Proud to be Ranked on the MSP 501 for Another Year!
For the second consecutive year, Orion Networks has earned a spot on the MSP 501 – the technology industry’s most rigorous and respected ranking of managed service providers worldwide. Out of thousands of MSPs evaluated globally, Orion Networks ranked #41, a milestone that reflects years of deliberate growth, disciplined operations, and a relentless focus on what Washington-area businesses actually need from their IT partner.
What the MSP 501 Actually Means
This isn’t a popularity contest or a pay-to-play list. The MSP 501, now in its 19th year, uses a quantitative methodology developed in collaboration with industry experts and past winners. Rankings are based on recurring revenue strength, profit margins, operational efficiency, and long-term business health — the factors that actually determine whether an IT company will still be there for you in five years.
This year’s list is one of the most competitive in the survey’s history. The 501 MSPs on the list averaged 10% revenue growth, with recurring revenue making up nearly 60% of total revenue. The average MSP 501 company generated over $32 million in revenue. Earning a spot — at any rank — is a meaningful achievement.
“The 2026 MSP 501 winners represent the highest-performing and most innovative IT providers in the industry today,” said Robert DeMarzo, Vice President of Content, Channel Events. “These managed service providers aren’t just keeping pace with the industry — they’re actively shaping the future of managed services.”
Why This Matters for Washington Businesses
Washington DC has one of the most compliance-heavy business environments in the country. Government contractors, healthcare organizations, legal firms, and nonprofits all operate under strict regulatory requirements that demand more than a break-fix IT company or a generalist provider.
Orion Networks has built its practice specifically around these needs — from CMMC compliance consulting for defense contractors to HIPAA-aligned support for healthcare providers. MSP 501 recognition confirms what our clients already know: that the team, the processes, and the financial stability are all in place to support long-term technology partnerships.
What’s Next
Orion Networks will be recognized at the MSP 501 Awards Gala at MSP Summit, September 28-30, 2026, in Orlando, FL — alongside the top managed service providers in the world.
For Washington-area businesses evaluating IT companies in Washington, this recognition is a meaningful data point. It means Orion Networks has been independently validated against hundreds of global competitors — and came out among the best.
