Managed Security Services and the Evolution of the Channel
Business Stream Overview
The services offered by MSPs have evolved over the years. As the IT landscape has changed to include more mobile devices and cloud-based services, MSPs have adapted and matured to meet this market. Today, MSPs are available to design, deliver, and manage every aspect of the IT delivery stack — from smartphones to complex cloud-based business-critical applications.
The demand for managed services is increasing at double-digit rates, and the types of services that organisations are looking for are changing quickly.
Creating new and profitable managed services has always been challenging, but as customer needs evolve, developing profitable services that have strong customer appeal and that can be delivered efficiently without significant additional investment, is more challenging. Additionally, trends like value-based pricing and service bundling are making it more important than ever for service providers to distinguish their offerings from one another.
This stream aims to showcase solutions that have been designed to meet the changing needs of MSPs to help create winning and successful managed service solutions that will drive profitable growth.
