Shield Receives MIP Transformation Award at Pax8

On Tuesday, Shield was honored with the 2026 MIP Transformation Award at the Pax8 Beyond Conference. The award recognizes one partner that has meaningfully embraced AI transformation and reflects our ongoing mission to bring world-class IT and frontier AI solutions to the SMB market.

At Shield, we believe the best products are built at the edge: close to the teams doing the work, the customers they serve, and the problems they solve every day. That belief has shaped how we approach AI transformation. Across our 19 Shield companies, we’ve been building with our operators to turn real frontline workflows into practical AI-enabled tools that help teams move faster, serve customers better, and unlock greater value.

We’re grateful for our partnership with Pax8 and excited to keep building alongside our Shield companies as we deliver best-in-class service to more IT services companies and their customers.
