CHICAGO — March 31, 2026 — Meridian Group International today announced that its
wholly owned subsidiary Meridian IT Inc. (Meridian IT U.S.), a leading global managed
services provider, has been named to the Elite 150 category of the 2026 Managed Service
Provider (MSP) 500 list by CRN, a brand of The Channel Company. This marks the sixth
consecutive year Meridian has earned this distinction.

The CRN MSP 500 list recognizes top providers that help organizations improve efficiency,
simplify IT operations and achieve better business outcomes through managed services.
The Elite 150 category highlights large MSPs with deep expertise in data center,
infrastructure and hybrid IT environments.

Meridian’s continued recognition reflects its strength as a global, award-winning MSP
delivering secure, scalable infrastructure and cloud solutions backed by a customer-first
approach.

“Being recognized in the Elite 150 for the sixth consecutive year reflects both the strength
of our managed services strategy and the long-standing trust our customers place in
Meridian,” said Christian Peterson, president of Meridian IT Inc. “As organizations
navigate increased complexity across hybrid and multi-cloud environments, they need a
partner that brings clarity, consistency, performance, security and control to their cloud
environment. Meridian is built to deliver exactly that.”

Meridian delivers a full portfolio of managed services spanning hybrid cloud,
infrastructure, security, collaboration and backup and recovery. With data centers
operating around the world, Meridian enables organizations to place workloads where they
perform best—balancing performance, compliance and cost.

“What we’re seeing across our customer base is a shift from chasing cloud trends to
making more intentional, workload-driven decisions,” said Tom Horan, vice president of
cloud services at Meridian IT Inc. “We help customers determine what belongs in the
cloud, what should remain on-prem, and provide the managed services needed to keep it
all running smoothly as one connected environment.”

According to CRN, MSPs on this year’s list are helping organizations navigate evolving IT
challenges while delivering measurable value through proactive management and
strategic guidance.

Meridian Group International supports customers globally through its subsidiaries,
including Meridian IT Inc. (U.S.), Concat AG (Germany), Meridian IT UK and Meridian IT
Australia.

The 2026 MSP 500 list is featured online at CRN.com and appeared in the February 2026
