ADNET Technologies Named a 2025 MSP 501 Next Generation Winner

Recognized by Channel Futures as an industry trailblazer shaking up the tech channel with cutting-edge strategies and solutions

ADNET Technologies, a New Charter Technologies company, has been named by Channel Futures as one of the world’s top-performing managed service providers (MSPs) on the prestigious 2025 MSP 501 Next Generation ranking. The Next Generation awards, announced each year prior to the industry’s MSP Summit, honor those organizations who are considered the industry’s most innovative MSPs, leading the industry as pioneers of both high-tech solutions and go-to-market strategies. This is ADNET’s second consecutive year on the list.

“Being recognized among NextGen 501 MSPs again is truly an honor, and we’re incredibly grateful for this industry recognition. It reflects ADNET’s ongoing commitment to innovative solutions and a client-centric approach,” said Lynette Maffei, President of ADNET Technologies. “By elevating the way we deliver managed services—whether it’s through utilizing more integrated, AI solutions to drive optimizations, leveraging automation, or enhancing how we communicate with our vendors and clients—we’re ultimately helping shape what’s next for the industry, and that’s a responsibility we take to heart.”

The Next Generation list is part of Channel Partners’ prestigious MSP 501 program, widely regarded as the gold standard of MSP awards. ADNET has earned a place among these elite providers seven times over the years. In reviewing that annual award data, Channel Futures identified key trailblazers who were reshaping the industry with cutting-edge strategies and groundbreaking solutions—leading to the creation of the Next Generation honors.

Channel Futures states that its winning NextGen MSPs are not just outperforming peers, but redefining what it means to succeed in this industry. In 2024, Channel Futures even revamped its criteria to better identify companies that are influencing the next phase of IT evolution.

“We’re thrilled to announce the 2025 Next Generation award winners—true trailblazers who represent the future of managed services,” said Robert DeMarzo, V.P. of content for Informa’s channel events.

“These innovative MSPs aren’t just meeting industry benchmarks—they’re redefining them. With revenue portfolios heavily weighted toward managed services, professional services, and recurring cloud offerings, they’ve demonstrated exceptional business acumen while serving critical sectors like healthcare, finance, and government. What truly sets this year’s winners apart is their commitment to AI integration across their entire service spectrum—from cybersecurity and cloud services to data analytics and network optimization. We look forward to celebrating their achievements at our exclusive MSP 501 Awards Gala on September 17 in Orlando.”

“When pouring through the mounds of data we collect to select the MSP 501, we notice true trailblazers that can shake up the cutting-edge strategies and groundbreaking solutions,” said Informa’s Dave Raffo, manager of the MPS 501 and Next Generation programs. “That was the basis for our MSP Next Generation list, which recognizes the most innovative MSPs poised to skyrocket in the industry, from AI integration pioneers to operational efficiency champions.”

For the 2025 ranking, MSPs are evaluated across a series of metrics including revenue, profit, projections, operations efficiencies, customers acquisitions and vendor onboarding. The review also examines key growth areas and assesses how effectively the MSP adopted artificial intelligence (AI) integrated solutions.

One of the striking differences between Next Generation MSPs and all MSPs is the successful—and seamless—adoption of AI integrated services. Currently, AI-powered solutions are already transforming the industry landscape at a rapid pace enabling NextGen providers to automate routine tasks, enhance cybersecurity and deliver more efficient services. Another differentiator is how NextGen MSPs approach client acquisitions, many managing multichannel strategies ranging from webinars to industry events.
