Due to the coronavirus pandemic and the general upheaval that has come with it, partners are being pulled in hundreds of different directions. Recognizing this, we have decided to extend the deadline to apply for the 2020 NextGen 101 list. 

What Is the NextGen 101?

In case you’re not already familiar with the NextGen 101, here’s a quick refresher. A subsect of the MSP 501 list, this is a brand-new list we designed specifically to honor partners dedicating resources to building out their practices — all while maintaining the integrity of their core businesses. 

The NextGen 101 recognizes diversified partners with growing MSP practices and annual recurring revenues under 20% of total revenue. These partners offer managed services, but they’re also resellers, system integrators and shops that do project work. We feel these diversified shops deserve to be recognized for what they are in their own list, not lumped in with pure-play MSPs.

So, what does this mean for you and your business? The NextGen list will essentially highlight the MSP powerhouses of the future. Maybe you’ll continue to expand your managed-service capabilities while also devoting resources to core competencies. Or maybe you’ll become a new kind of hybrid partner that isn’t yet even on our radar. Whatever the case, it’s a chance to be among the first on a list the industry hasn’t seen before. 

The 2020 MSP 501 recognizes the top managed service providers in the world. See the full list. Then check out our brand-new Hot 101.

We’re committed to doing all we can to help our partner community during this challenging time. To that end, we’ve extended the application deadline to Oct. 21. We’re more than happy to give you a couple of extra weeks to get your submissions in.

Thank you for being a part of something new here at Channel Partners and Channel Futures. We always want to ensure that we recognize our partner communities for what they do best and that we’re creating programs targeted toward their needs. We’re excited to see what magic we can make happen with the NextGen 101, and we hope you’ll be a part of that effort!
