Bastionpoint Technology Named #155 on the 2026 Channel Futures MSP 501, Marking Five Straight Years on the Global List

Richmond, Virginia-based Bastionpoint Technology has been named to the 2026 Channel Futures MSP 501, landing at #155 among the world’s top managed service providers. This is the fifth consecutive year Bastionpoint has earned a spot on the list, and it cements the company’s position as the highest-ranked managed service provider serving Central Virginia, including Southside, Eastern, and Western Virginia.

The timing carries extra weight. Bastionpoint just marked its 18th anniversary, and this recognition reflects nearly two decades of helping Virginia businesses use technology securely and strategically.

What the MSP 501 Ranking Means

The Channel Futures MSP 501 is widely regarded as the managed services industry’s most comprehensive global ranking. Each year, Channel Futures evaluates thousands of MSPs on factors including:

• Operational maturity
• Innovation
• Recurring revenue
• Growth
• Commitment to customer success

Landing on the list at all is considered one of the highest honors in the industry. Landing on it five years running, while climbing to #155 globally, signals sustained performance rather than a single good year.

A Team Effort, According to Leadership

Eric Clary, Chief Operating Officer of Bastionpoint Technology, said the achievement reflects the full team rather than any one person.

“For years, I’ve proudly said that we were the number one Managed Service Provider in Richmond,” Clary said. “Today, we can confidently say we’re the top MSPs across most of Virginia, and now one of the Top 501 Managed Service Providers in the world.”

Clary credited engineers, technicians, and the Client Success, Operations, Sales, and Administrative teams for the day-to-day work behind the ranking. He also pointed to company culture as a driving factor: “This recognition reflects our culture as much as our technical expertise. Five straight years on the MSP 501 is something we’re incredibly proud of, but we’re even more excited about what comes next.”

Clary added that the team remains focused on Founder Jason Knowles’ original vision: delivering enterprise-level IT solutions with unmatched customer care to small and midsized businesses.

Client Relationships Behind the Growth

Austin Moore, Client Success and Marketing Strategist at Bastionpoint, pointed to the company’s clients as central to the milestone.

“We truly believe we have the best customers anywhere, right here in Richmond and throughout Virginia,” Moore said. “The relationships we’ve built over the past 18 years have become the foundation of who we are. Our clients challenge us to be better, and their success is our success.”

• Managed IT services
• Cloud solutions
