Awards Won

Similar to a Michelin Star, in the IT world Channel Futures rates the top 501 IT companies in the world.

Tech Plus Consulting was one of the few Bay Area IT Service Companies to win the MSP 501 in 2020 and in 2021, 2022, and 2023 the NextGen 101 recognizing the 101 most innovative IT providers.

The NextGen 101 list honors industry-leading managed services and technology providers who are driving a new wave of growth and innovation for the tech channel via the groundbreaking solutions they deliver for their customers. The Channel Futures NextGen 101 are those companies that hold great promise given the leading-edge information technology and communication solutions they offer. Many of those business models revolve around generating recurring revenue from cloud, security and unified communications, among others.

Systemic change is never easy, as is perfectly evidenced by the events of 2020. It takes courage, community and massive communication to enact real change. Luckily, we had all three when we decided to evolve the judgment criteria for the 2020 MSP 501.

While we enjoyed widespread support for this change, we also received our fair share of criticism and complaints. We don’t mind that over here at Channel Futures. In order to craft the best programs possible, we have to hear from people who are happy with what we’re doing — and just as much, we need to hear from those who aren’t. We had dozens of conversations during this year’s application period with partners unsure if they were on board with the new methodology.

We’ve written extensively about why we felt a change was needed. Essentially, we realized that judging solely on annual revenue will give you a great idea of who the biggest partners are, but not who the best in class shops are. So we talked to a giant roster of partners, vendors, distributors, analysts, consultants and media experts about what metrics they use to evaluate the health of a partner.
