Kocho has been named as one of the world’s premier managed service providers by leading information and communications technology (ICT) media platform, Channel Futures.

Kocho recently ranked 16th out of 501 in the 2022 MSP 501 list. The list identifies the technology industry’s top-performing managed service providers (MSPs) as chosen by the editors of Channel Futures.

 

The MSP 501, which has been running for the past 16 years, receives applications from MSPs around the globe hoping to be included on the prestigious list.

A rigorous selection process

The MSP 501 survey assesses MSPs based on:

  • Annual sales
  • Recurring revenue
  • Profit margins
  • Revenue mix
  • Growth opportunities
  • Innovation
  • Technology solutions supported
  • Company and customer demographics

Those that qualify must then pass a rigorous review conducted by the Channel Futures editors and research team.

MSPs are ranked using a unique methodology that weighs financial performance according to long-term health and viability, commitment to recurring revenue, and operational efficiency.

This year’s list attracted a record number of applicants, making it one of the most competitive in the survey’s history.

Kocho’s Chief Sales Officer, Rich Best collected the award at a ceremony in London on 14 June 2022. Earlier in the day, Kocho CEO, Des Lekerman took part in a panel discussion about how MSPs are embracing new business models and opportunities.

Des shared his experience of diversifying and expanding the range of services that Kocho offers, having merged TiG, a leading MSP and cloud transformation specialist, with ThirdSpace, one of the UK’s most well-regarded identity and cyber security companies.
