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.

Securing equipment for manufacturing advanced memory chips is emerging as a new variable in Korea's plans to expand semiconductor production capacity through large-scale industrial clusters, after ASML, the dominant supplier of advanced chipmaking equipment, warned that its current production plans may not be sufficient to meet demand in 2027 and 2028. During its earnings call Wednesday, ASML CEO Christophe Fouquet said the company's plans to increase its production capacity for advanced chipmaking equipment by 30 percent in 2027 and another 30 percent in 2028 would likely not be enough to meet customer demand. “Last quarter, we talked about 30 percent more capacity next year, and also the aspiration to have another 30 percent increase in 2028,” Fouquet said. “But to be honest, it's becoming very clear that 30 percent in 2027, 30 percent in 2028 will not allow us to meet our customer demand.” According to the company, the planned capacity increases cover both low-numerical-aperture extreme ultraviolet (low-NA EUV) lithography equipment and deep ultraviolet (DUV) immersion system
Fashion platform Musinsa has teamed up with ZOZOTOWN, one of Japan's leading online fashion retailers, to open a pop-up store in Seongsu-dong, Seoul, a popular destination for young consumers. Musinsa opened the doors to ZOZOTOWN in Musinsa, the Japanese platform’s first official pop-up store in Korea, to the media on Friday. The pop-up will run through Oct. 31, while an accompanying online promotion will continue until Nov. 16.

The pop-up follows the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the two platforms in December 2024 to establish a strategic partnership. In November last y
