In partnership with InsightExpress, LLC and Ziff Davis, a recent online survey was conducted with 365 managed service providers. Among other findings, the results of the study identified three primary business issues facing Managed Service Providers today.
In undertaking the challenge of migrating from a break/fix business model to a true MSP, the top three concerns include;
– defining or creating service definitions; (46%)
– determining the appropriate pricing (42%) and
– migrating existing customers to the new managed services model (33%)
At Kaseya we see the same trends and can validate that these are real issues facing MSPs today. Solution providers face an entirely new business model, a paradigm shift if you will, in the way services are delivered. As solution providers move from a response based, reactive and adhoc service delivery to a proactive service delivery model they pave new ground in developing SLAs, pricing strategies and a unique value proposition for migrating customers to managed services.
Kaseya acknowledge these challenge and realizes our responsibility to our customer’s success. Recognizing the challenges of business transformation, Kaseya developed the Kaseya emPower Program by leveraging the success and insight of our most successful MSPs.
