The MSP 501 list recognizes top cloud service providers based on a variety of metrics, including recurring revenue, growth and other factors. In addition to a ranking on the MSP 501 list, every company that participated in the study has been assigned a score reflecting its intrinsic value. The measure, known as the Total Service Provider score, evaluates an MSP's mix of revenue from various activities, including consulting, cloud, reselling and managed services.
