SPK and Associates is proud to announce that we are recognized by Channel Partners as a top managed service provider of 2026. The MSP 501 is the technology industry’s prestigious ranking of the world’s top managed service providers. This marks SPK’s eighth consecutive year earning a place on the list, reaffirming the company’s long-standing commitment to technical excellence, client success, and trusted managed services.
Channel Partners MSP 501
The annual MSP 501 identifies the best of the best in the managed services industry. For 19 years, the list has recognized organizations that demonstrate strong financial performance, operational efficiency, sustainable growth, and the ability to deliver outstanding value to customers. Unlike rankings based on size alone, the MSP 501 evaluates managed service providers based on key business metrics, including recurring revenue, profit margin, and long-term business health.
What This Means for SPK
For SPK and Associates, this recognition reflects more than managed services performance. It highlights the strength of the relationships SPK has built with its clients over more than two decades of business.
“The relationships our team at SPK has formed with our clients over 20+ years of business are impossible to replicate. This award reaffirms the importance of both technical expertise and a personable approach to achieving customer success. We are honored to once again be recognized as a leading service provider in the engineering space.” said Christine McHale, Co-founder and CEO of SPK and Associates.
What We Do
As a managed service provider, SPK helps companies in an on-going basis with technology. But unlike other MSPs, SPK’s focus is on engineering, IT, and product development organizations to improve the systems and processes that support innovation. From cloud infrastructure and DevOps to PLM, CAD, cybersecurity, and compliance-driven environments, SPK delivers services designed to reduce complexity, improve performance, and support long-term growth.
The Future of Tech
The MSP 501 recognition also underscores SPK’s commitment to helping clients navigate a rapidly changing technology landscape. Today’s organizations face increasing pressure to modernize infrastructure, strengthen cybersecurity, adopt AI responsibly, manage cloud costs, and support distributed teams. SPK’s managed services model is built to help clients address these challenges with both strategic guidance and hands-on technical expertise.
How are the Selections Made?
The 2026 MSP 501 list is based on confidential data collected and analyzed by The MSP Summit content team between February and May 2026. The ranking methodology was developed in collaboration with industry-leading experts, the MSP Summit Board, and past MSP 501 winners. This year’s honorees represent managed service providers that deliver exceptional vendor- and platform-neutral advice and value to small, midsized, and enterprise customers. SPK and Associates is honored to be included among this year’s leading managed service providers. This recognition reflects the dedication of our team, the trust of our clients, and our continued focus on helping organizations accelerate product development, improve operational efficiency, and solve complex technology challenges.
