Editor's Note

Our latest MSP Index Feature Report looks at how MSPs are thinking about their core stack and where they expect future growth to come from. View it here (free subscription required).

We surveyed 50 Australian managed IT services partners for their perspectives, and contributing editor Brad Howarth interviewed a dozen MSPs to bring context to their responses. The responses indicate that many MSPs are gearing up for change, but they are divided on where greater value will come from next.

Special thanks to NinjaOne for sponsoring this report.
