2026 WINNER

IT Outlet is recognized in collaboration with MSP 501 by Informa, and celebrated at MSP Summit, September 28–30 in Orlando, FL.

Brandon, South Dakota — July 14, 2026 — IT Outlet today announced it has been named to MSP Summit's 2026 MSPs to Watch list, a prestigious designation recognizing 130 exceptional managed service providers that demonstrate world-class operational performance and strategic vision. The recognition celebrates organizations that have mastered the MSP business model, execute at the highest operational levels, and represent the future of managed services in an AI-driven channel.

MSPs to Watch identifies the fastest-growing channel partners in managed services — organizations that combine operational excellence with innovation and agility. As part of the MSP 501 program, IT Outlet was evaluated using the same rigorous, proprietary methodology applied to the MSP 501, examining revenue mix quality, recurring revenue percentage, revenue per employee efficiency, and year-over-year growth performance.

"Being named an MSP to Watch is a reflection of the discipline and innovation our whole team brings every day. This recognition validates the path we're on and the value we deliver to our clients." — Kevin Huber, CEO, IT Outlet

"MSPs to Watch celebrates managed service providers positioned at the forefront of industry transformation," said Dave Raffo, MSP Content Editor at MSP Summit. "They represent the future of managed services — agile, innovative organizations that are redefining what's possible in an AI-driven channel. The operational excellence and strategic vision they demonstrate today positions them as the industry leaders of tomorrow."

The MSPs to Watch designation validates that IT Outlet possesses a sound business model, efficient operations, and a strategy aligned with industry direction — a powerful signal to customers, partners, employees, and investors that the company has been independently validated against industry-leading benchmarks.

"The MSPs to Watch list is a declaration of companies that have mastered the fundamentals of the MSP business model and are executing at the highest levels of operational excellence. These are the organizations that represent the future of our industry," said Robert DeMarzo, Content Leader, Informa Channels. "MSPs to Watch companies are building businesses for sustainable growth, combining agility and innovation with operational discipline. They are the managed service providers that customers, partners, and the industry should be watching closely."

IT Outlet will be highlighted on the MSP Summit website beginning July 14, featured in MSP newsletters, and promoted across social media channels. Special content designed specifically for MSPs to Watch honorees will be showcased at the upcoming MSP Summit, September 28–30, at the Loews Royal Pacific in Orlando, FL, where IT Outlet will receive public recognition of this achievement.
