Albany, NY., July 3rd, 2025

Integrated Technology Group (ITG), a local Managed IT Service Provider (MSP) located here in Albany, New York area has been ranked 162nd in one of the most prestigious annual rankings which lists the top 501 MSPs worldwide. With a staff of 10 employees, this is confirming yet again that big things really do come in small packages!

 

In this year’s 2025 Channel Futures MSP 501 rankings, Channel Futures has ranked ITG among the very best in the world designating them an “Elite Managed Service Provider”.

 

The Annual MSP 501 Identifies Industry’s Best-in-Class Managed IT Service Providers (MSPs) worldwide via a thorough examination of business processes, service excellence, innovation, and recurring revenue.

 

"The MSP 501 is the channel industry's unofficial GPS. Customers use it to navigate the over 300,000 MSP ecosystem, and vendors use it to find the right partners for their GTM strategy,” said Devan Adams, principal analyst at Canalys (now part of Omdia). “Being an MSP 501er puts your business on the map while steering new opportunities to you."

 

MSPs that qualify to be included on the list must pass a rigorous review conducted by the Channel Partners research team and editors. Channel Partners ranks applicants using a unique methodology that weighs financial performance according to long-term health and viability, commitment to recurring revenue and operational efficiency.

 

“We are ecstatic to be a part of the MSP501 list for the first time” said Mike Collins, Owner, Integrated Technology Group (ITG). “This was the first year we were even considered for the list and that alone was a huge honor, but to see us ranked (#162) among the very best of the best in the world, it is incredibly validating to the whole team and everyone’s hard work.

 

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 generated aggregate revenue of nearly $25 billion with an average growth or recurring revenue of 19%. Many of the MSP 501’s services and technology offerings focus on customer needs in the areas of AI, cloud, security, collaboration, networking, help desk and remote monitoring and management.

 

“For years we were content to being one of the region’s best kept secrets, we were content to simply fly under the radar. This year we really set out to change that, and it must be working because we just landed on the MSP 501 for the first time, to place that high on such a prestigious list, its huge, we’re kinda celebrating right now.”
