About MSPAlliance
The world's largest vendor-neutral industry association for managed service providers. Advancing professionalism in managed services since 2000.
Our Story
25+ Years of Advancing the MSP Profession
MSPAlliance was founded in 2000 by Charles Weaver because no one was representing the managed services profession. There was no independent voice, no standards body, no community built by MSPs for MSPs.
Over the past 25 years, MSPAlliance has grown from a small group of managed service providers to representing over 30,000 members across dozens of countries. We've developed the industry's first compliance and certification frameworks specifically designed for MSPs, created executive peer groups for MSP leaders, and built the largest vendor-neutral community in managed services.
That commitment hasn't changed: advance the integrity, standards, and professionalism of managed service providers worldwide.
Our Mission
“The International Association of Cloud & Managed Service Provider Alliance was established in 2000 with the objective of helping MSPs become better MSPs.”
Today MSPAlliance is the world's largest industry association and certification body for cloud computing and managed service professionals — promoting managed services as a true and viable profession to the business consumer.
