The methodology comes from an algorithm used to assess a companys revenue. After all, if youre making money, you must be doing something right by your clients. The revenue weighting is divided into a pie chart with the categories of 5 percent reselling, 10 percent consulting, 35 percent cloud, 15 percent professional services and 35 percen t managed services.To be a contender for the MSP 501 listing, a company must submit a confidential application that verifies its entire financial results for the year.
