Raleigh, North Carolina, United States, September 18, 2026 /MarketersMEDIA/ -- 2 Dog Digital has been named a finalist in the 2026 MSP Titans of the Industry Awards, which recognize managed service providers across the country for excellence in business performance, innovation, customer service and impact on the businesses and communities they serve.
The 2026 awards drew a record number of applicants, with applications increasing 40 percent over 2025, making this the largest and most competitive year in the program’s history. More than 300 MSPs were named finalists across the awards, with 2 Dog Digital selected as one of 10 finalists representing the Southeast.
The recognition comes during a milestone year for the Raleigh-based managed IT and cybersecurity company. Founded in 2016 by Rich and Ami DePierro, 2 Dog Digital celebrated its 10th anniversary this year and now supports approximately 2,500 endpoints for businesses and organizations across North Carolina and beyond.
“When we started 2 Dog Digital ten years ago, we weren’t thinking about awards. We wanted to build a company that took care of its clients and its people and did good work,” said Rich DePierro, CEO and co-founder. “We’ve grown a lot since then, but that hasn’t changed. Being recognized alongside some of the best MSPs in the country tells me we’re doing something right.”
2 Dog Digital works with small and midsized organizations across industries including professional services, manufacturing, healthcare, veterinary medicine, construction and nonprofit organizations. Its team provides day-to-day IT support alongside cybersecurity, cloud services, backup and disaster recovery, and technology planning.
“I’m always looking at what we can do better and where we can improve, so I probably don’t give us enough credit for what we’ve already accomplished,” said Ami DePierro, President and co-founder. “Being named a finalist is a good reminder that we can be proud of what we’ve built and still keep looking for ways to make it better. I’m incredibly proud of our team and everything they’ve helped us accomplish.”
Winners of the 2026 MSP Titans of the Industry Awards will be announced December 9, 2026, at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California.
