"We are truly humbled to be recognized in the Channel Futures MSP 501 list," said Curtis R. Hicks II, president and CEO of Centaris.

This year the ranking attracted a record number of applicants in one of the most competitive surveys since the list began in 2006. The MSP 501 survey examines organizational performance based on annual sales, recurring revenue, profit margins, revenue mix, growth opportunities, innovation, technology solutions supported, and company and customer demographics.

Managed services providers that qualify for the list must pass a rigorous review conducted by the research team and editors of Channel Futures that rank applicants using a unique methodology that weighs financial performance, commitment to recurring revenue and operational efficiency.

Since its inception, the MSP 501 has evolved from a competitive ranking into a vibrant group of innovators focused on high levels of customer satisfaction at small, medium, and large organizations in public and private sectors. Today, many of their services and technology offerings focus on growing customer needs in the areas of cloud, security, collaboration, and support of hybrid workforces.
