PivIT Strategy, a Charlotte-based managed IT services and cybersecurity provider, is proud to announce its inclusion in CRN’s 2026 Managed Service Provider (MSP) 500 list, earning recognition in the Pioneer 250 category.
Published by CRN, a brand of The Channel Company, the annual MSP 500 list recognizes managed service providers across North America that are helping businesses navigate increasingly complex technology environments through innovative IT services, proactive support, and strategic technology solutions.
For PivIT Strategy, this recognition represents an exciting milestone in the company’s continued growth and commitment to delivering reliable, business-focused IT services.
What Is the CRN MSP 500?
The 2026 list features providers across three categories:
- Pioneer 250: Managed service providers with business models focused largely on serving small and midsize businesses.
- Elite 150: MSPs with a significant managed services business supporting midsize and enterprise customers.
- Security 100: MSPs with a strong focus on cloud-based security services and cybersecurity expertise.
PivIT Strategy was selected for the Pioneer 250, recognizing its position among managed service providers helping businesses improve their IT operations, strengthen cybersecurity, and support long-term growth.
As businesses become increasingly dependent on technology, having a trusted managed IT services partner is more important than ever. Recognition on the CRN MSP 500 list highlights the essential role providers like PivIT Strategy play in helping organizations meet these challenges.
A Charlotte-Based MSP Focused on Putting Customers First
Headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, PivIT Strategy was built around a straightforward philosophy: technology should support business success, not create additional challenges.
With more than 20 years of collective experience in managed IT services, the PivIT Strategy team combines hands-on technical expertise with a customer-first approach to IT management.
Unlike traditional IT support providers that focus primarily on resolving technical problems, PivIT Strategy emphasizes the importance of understanding each client’s business goals and developing technology strategies that support them.
From small businesses to Fortune 500 enterprises, the company works with organizations to simplify technology management, reduce operational disruptions, and improve their overall IT infrastructure.
Under the leadership of CEO Jeff Wolverton, PivIT Strategy has continued investing in its team, internal processes, and service capabilities to better support its growing client base.
These investments have helped establish a strong foundation for the company’s continued expansion while maintaining the personalized service that clients expect.
Delivering Comprehensive Managed IT Services and Cybersecurity
PivIT Strategy’s recognition on the CRN 2026 MSP 500 list reflects its commitment to providing businesses with technology solutions that address both immediate IT needs and long-term operational goals.
The company’s core services include:
Managed IT Services
PivIT Strategy provides proactive monitoring, maintenance, patch management, and ongoing IT support to help organizations maintain reliable technology environments. By identifying and addressing potential issues early, businesses can minimize downtime and keep employees productive.
Managed Cybersecurity Services
Cybersecurity remains one of the most important challenges facing organizations of every size.
Microsoft 365 Management
As businesses increasingly rely on cloud-based productivity tools, PivIT Strategy helps organizations manage and secure their Microsoft 365 environments, including user administration, data protection, and backup solutions.
Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery
Unexpected outages, cyberattacks, and data loss can significantly disrupt business operations. PivIT Strategy helps clients prepare for these situations through backup, recovery, and business continuity solutions designed to reduce downtime and protect critical information.
Strategic IT Consulting and vCIO Services
Beyond day-to-day IT management, PivIT Strategy provides strategic technology guidance to help business leaders make informed decisions about infrastructure, cybersecurity, budgeting, and future investments.
This combination of technical expertise and strategic planning allows PivIT Strategy to serve as more than an outsourced IT provider. The company works to become a long-term technology partner for its clients.
Looking Ahead: AI, Automation, and the Future of Managed IT Services
As part of its CRN 2026 MSP 500 profile, PivIT Strategy identified artificial intelligence, automation, and cybersecurity as major opportunities shaping the future of managed services.
AI-powered automation, copilots, and workflow tools are changing how businesses operate and how IT service providers deliver support.
These technologies have the potential to streamline repetitive tasks, improve response times, and help organizations make better use of their technology investments.
For PivIT Strategy, the opportunity lies in helping clients adopt these technologies responsibly while maintaining strong cybersecurity protections.
At the same time, the rapid evolution of cyber threats continues to create new challenges for businesses.
Organizations must increasingly account for sophisticated phishing attacks, ransomware, compromised credentials, and other security risks that can threaten their operations.
PivIT Strategy recognizes that staying ahead of these threats requires a proactive approach built around continuous monitoring, modern security tools, and ongoing improvements to cybersecurity practices.
As the managed IT services industry continues to evolve, the company remains focused on helping clients adapt to emerging technologies without sacrificing security, reliability, or operational efficiency.
Building a Strong Foundation for Continued Growth
PivIT Strategy’s inclusion in the CRN 2026 MSP 500 comes during a period of continued development for the company.
Over the past year, PivIT Strategy has strengthened its organizational structure, expanded its team, and implemented more efficient internal processes to support its growth.
These improvements have helped create a more streamlined operation while allowing the company to maintain its emphasis on responsive customer service.
The company has also continued expanding its presence beyond Charlotte, strengthening its ability to support organizations across the Carolinas and surrounding markets.
While growth remains an important priority, PivIT Strategy’s focus continues to be on delivering dependable IT services and building lasting relationships with its clients.
The CRN recognition serves as an encouraging milestone as the company works toward these goals.
