SMB Nation | SMB IT Professionals
The Place to Start-up and Start Over!
Reporting that the small and medium business (SMB) managed services provider (MSP) community’s sad demise are greatly exaggerated! On my recent trip to the Silicon Valley just south of San Francisco, I ZEROED on trying to get together with long-time community members for a few reasons.
Our favorite “thinking man” Peter Tsai (Sr. Technology Analytst, Spiceworks) carved out a few mins recently to discuss Spicework’s new study on cyber insurance. This is important to the SMB Nation community of managed services providers (MSP) who are on a death march to add more solutions to balance products/services typically delivered to clients via the monthly recurring revenue model.
Welcome to 2019! We’ve crafted a special event for SMB Nation peeps to participate in. It’s an MSP Makeover at your location with yours truly for one MSP that wins our event. There is absolutely no cost to you.
Long-time SMB Nation member Frank Ohlhorst, respected analyst and test labber (he is still very technical), shares deep insights into the IBM Think 2019 conference. You’ll be treated to thoughts on the IBM managed security services provider (MSSP) program elevating traditional managed services providers (MSP). Follow that with a tip of the hat to Watson and AI. And we end talking blockchain.
Rob Leon’s two-year business/technical blog is starting to pay dividends. A well-know renaissance man who since 2004 has worked on the managed services provider (MSP) and the ISV side. So he’s well armed to offer insights and analysis.
