The Opportunities for MSPs on Global MSP Day
In Richard’s presentation, he talked about how the landscape for managed service providers has changed since the pandemic.
The emphasis on helping your clients to achieve more with technology has never been more relevant. For example, by embracing AI tools like Microsoft Copilot to improve efficiencies and help your clients stay ahead of the competition.
Luckily for MSPs, it’s not a fight they have to do alone. Choosing Vendor partners who are known for innovation is a good start. Peer communities are actively collaborating on how we can deliver these solutions effectively to our clients. This knowledge-sharing is for the benefit of all in the MSP space.
But the growth opportunities in AI are there to enhance strengths and not replace emotional interactions. The key to success lies in achieving an equilibrium between AI efficiency gains and the human touch.

Look Ahead from Global MSP Day 2024
Today, businesses are even more dependent on their technology providers as ever.
With evolving cyber threats, sales pipelines to manage and complex AI tools to master, we have to look at trusting in our peers and vendor partners to help us deliver the best possible results for our clients.
However, we should also not forget what a great industry it is. And all the good things managed service providers have achieved, especially since the pandemic.
