2026 Winner – We made the MSP 501!
I’m incredibly proud to share that Aligned Tek has been named the #33 Managed Service Provider in the world on the 2026 MSP 501.
The MSP 501 isn’t simply a list of the largest IT companies. It’s one of the industry’s most respected rankings, recognizing managed service providers that demonstrate excellence in recurring revenue, operational maturity, innovation, and long-term business health. The selection process is based on a rigorous evaluation of business performance, not just company size.
To be ranked #33 globally is an incredible honor.
What makes this recognition even more meaningful is how we got here. Over the past year, our team successfully navigated the integration of two organizations while continuing to invest in our people, our processes, and our cybersecurity capabilities. Through all of that change, our mission never wavered: deliver an exceptional experience for every client we serve.
This recognition belongs to our entire team. Every technician who answers a support call. Every engineer who secures a network. Every project manager, account manager, sales professional, and operations team member who works behind the scenes to help our clients succeed.
Most importantly, thank you to our clients. Your trust is something we never take for granted. We’re honored to serve organizations across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, and we’re committed to continuing to raise the bar.
This milestone is worth celebrating, but we’re just getting started.
Aligned Tek has been recognized as the No. 33 managed service provider in the world on the 2026 Channel Partners MSP 501, the technology industry’s premier annual ranking of the world’s top managed IT service providers.
The recognition places Aligned Tek among an elite group of technology companies selected through one of the industry’s most rigorous evaluation processes. Unlike rankings based solely on company size or revenue, the MSP 501 uses a proprietary quantitative methodology that measures financial performance, operational excellence, business maturity, recurring revenue strength, profitability, innovation, and long-term sustainability.
“This recognition reflects the dedication and professionalism of every member of the Aligned Tek team,” said Kirby Watson, President of Aligned Tek. “Every day, our people help businesses leverage technology more effectively while protecting them from increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. Being recognized among the world’s best managed service providers is an honor we share with our employees and the clients who trust us to support their organizations.”
Headquartered in Birmingham with operations serving organizations throughout the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, Aligned Tek is part of Aligned Holdings, Inc., a Florence, Alabama-based company founded by entrepreneur Bill J. Lyons.
