Kaine Mathrick Tech (KMTech) has been named to the 2026 MSP 501, the technology industry’s premier global ranking of managed service providers, published annually by Informa’s MSP Summit.
This marks a consecutive year of inclusion for KMTech on a list that assessed hundreds of managed service providers worldwide on the metrics that define long-term business health: recurring revenue, operational efficiency, year-on-year growth, and financial strength. The 2026 MSP 501 spans 501 companies across nine countries, with KMT among just 64 non-North American MSPs to earn a place on a list predominantly made up of US and Canadian providers.
KMTech was previously ranked #120 on the 2025 MSP 501 and named to the 2025 Next Generation MSP list — a derivative recognition for MSPs identified as reshaping the future of the industry. The 2026 inclusion continues a pattern of sustained, independently verified performance that reflects KMTech’s growth from a Melbourne-founded business to a four-city operation serving over 147 clients across regulated industries.
“Consecutive recognition on the MSP 501 reflects something we are genuinely proud of — not a single impressive year, but sustained performance over time. The methodology is rigorous precisely because it looks at the numbers: recurring revenue, growth, operational efficiency. You cannot manufacture your way onto this list. It is a reflection of the work our entire team does every day, and of the trust our clients place in us.
“The MSP 501 also places KMT in a global context. We operate in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and Hobart, serving Australian businesses — but we benchmark ourselves against the best MSPs in the world. That standard matters to us. It shapes how we build our practice, how we invest, and how we think about what good looks like for our clients.”
— Bradley Kaine, Co-Founder and Managing Director, Kaine Mathrick Tech
A Global Benchmark For Managed Services
The MSP 501 has been the definitive global ranking of managed service providers since 2007. Unlike recognition programmes that rely on peer nominations or industry reputation alone, the MSP 501 uses a quantitative methodology developed with industry experts and past winners. Submissions are assessed on financial data, recurring revenue composition, growth trajectory, and operational metrics – making it one of the few rankings in the technology industry that rewards business fundamentals over brand profile.
The 2026 list reflects strong industry momentum: aggregate revenue across the 501 companies exceeded $32 billion, with an average growth rate of 10.1%. Security and AI were identified as the top two expected growth areas for 2026 – categories that sit at the centre of KMT’s service offering.
What This Means For KMTech Clients
For KMTech’s clients, predominantly mid-market and enterprise organisations in legal, financial services, and healthcare, inclusion on the MSP 501 is independent, third-party validation of the provider they have chosen to trust with their technology operations and cybersecurity.
It confirms that KMT is not only performing at a high standard locally, but is doing so in the context of a global peer group of the world’s best-run managed service providers.
