NextAge, a Brazilian company specializing in software development, AI Agents, and digital transformation, announced today that MES Computing, a brand of The Channel Company, has highlighted NextAge on its 2026 MES Midmarket 100 list. The recognition places NextAge alongside leading global technology vendors focused on the midmarket, organizations with annual revenues between $50 million and $2 billion and/or 100 to 2,500 supported users.
The inclusion reflects NextAge’s work in delivering AI Agent solutions designed for midsize companies looking to automate processes, integrate legacy systems, and scale operations with artificial intelligence, without the complexity and cost typically associated with enterprise-grade solutions.
About the MES Midmarket 100
The annual MES Midmarket 100 recognizes technology vendors with deep knowledge of the unique IT needs of midmarket organizations. Selection criteria include go-to-market strategy, innovation in serving the midmarket, and the strength of product and service portfolios targeting this segment.
“The Midmarket 100 highlights the technology vendors that genuinely understand, and actively champion, the distinct needs of midsize organizations,” said Samara Lynn, Senior Editor of MES Computing at The Channel Company. “These companies are true partners, equipping midmarket IT teams to overcome their toughest challenges so they can innovate and accelerate growth.”
The Midsize Enterprise Summit (MES) brings together IT leaders from midsize companies to discuss trends, share experiences, and explore technology solutions through keynotes, breakout sessions, and networking. The Spring 2026 edition featured Gartner as a research partner, presenting the results of the State of the Midmarket survey, a comprehensive look at the priorities and technology challenges facing companies in this segment.

Why AI Agents Are NextAge’s Bet for the Midmarket
NextAge’s selection is directly tied to its work with AI Agents, autonomous systems that go far beyond traditional chatbots. Unlike tools that simply answer questions, the agents designed by NextAge make decisions, execute tasks, and integrate with ERPs, CRMs, and internal systems, operating around the clock without requiring human intervention at every step.
For midsize companies that often face operational bottlenecks with lean teams, this approach represents a concrete shift: processes that previously consumed hours of manual work, such as approvals, document management, lead qualification, and operations monitoring, are now handled by agents that continuously learn from the company’s own data.
NextAge structures AI Agent implementation in ROI-driven stages: bottleneck identification, expected return definition, secure architecture with governance from the start, controlled deployment, performance monitoring, and planned scaling. The company serves areas including finance, HR, marketing, operations, and technology, with governance frameworks that ensure traceability and compliance in every automated decision.
“Being recognized on the MES Midmarket 100 validates what we stand for in practice: midsize companies don’t need grand AI projects to transform their operations. They need agents that connect to the systems they already use, solve real bottlenecks, and deliver measurable returns from the very first cycle. That’s what we build every day at NextAge,” said Juliano Haus, CEO at NextAge.
The Importance of AI Agents in Today’s Market
NextAge’s recognition on the MES Midmarket 100 comes at a time when AI adoption in the midmarket segment is still in its early stages. Recent research indicates that nearly 70% of small and midsize businesses remain at the initial stages of AI maturity, despite growing pressure to adopt the technology.
This is precisely where AI Agents gain relevance. While generative AI solutions have already become widespread for content creation and one-off responses, agents represent the next step: they are capable of acting within business processes, connecting to corporate databases, executing decision flows, and coordinating multiple tasks end to end.
For the midmarket, the advantage is especially clear. Unlike large corporations with robust IT teams and dedicated innovation budgets, midsize companies need solutions that deliver fast results through gradual implementation at a cost proportional to the return. AI Agents that integrate with existing systems, without requiring a complete infrastructure overhaul, meet exactly this demand.
The trend points toward ecosystems of multiple agents working in coordination: an agent monitoring financial indicators can trigger another that sends alerts to the operations team, which in turn activates a third responsible for executing corrective actions. This orchestration transforms AI from an isolated tool into an operational layer fully integrated into the business.
