SEATTLE - s4story -- Sparta Services LLC, a Managed Intelligence Provider (MIP) focused on Microsoft 365, security, and cloud solutions, announced that CEO Dave Galy has been named to CRN's 2026 Next-Gen Solution Provider Leaders list. CRN, a brand of The Channel Company, publishes the annual list to recognize rising leaders across technology integrators, VARs, MSPs, MSSPs, and IT consulting firms shaping the future of the IT channel.

Now in its seventh year, the list honors more than 100 emerging solution provider leaders for their accomplishments and innovative ideas.

Galy founded Sparta Services after leaving Microsoft and has spent the past five years building a firm known for turning complex technology decisions into clear, actionable client strategies. Over the past year, he led Sparta's internal modernization, including its migration to Microsoft Dynamics 365 and preparation for broader AI adoption.

He also drove Sparta Services' Azure Virtual Desktop practice, using Nerdio to provide globally distributed workforces with secure, scalable remote access while moving customers away from legacy infrastructure. The work strengthened Sparta's Microsoft partnership and became a repeatable, channel-ready offering. Galy also introduced a formal customer satisfaction program that helped raise Sparta Services' CSAT score from 95 to 99 percent.

Reflecting on the recognition, Galy pointed to the team behind the work. "This recognition says as much about our team as it does about me. We've made it a priority to help clients adopt AI with confidence, and the only way to do that credibly is to run those same tools inside our own business first. That's how we make sure what we recommend is practical and secure, not just theoretical."

Sparta is now building an automation-first delivery model by adopting Microsoft Copilot, Azure OpenAI, Copilot Studio, and AI-powered Dynamics 365 across its operations and client services.
