The future of managed services: Partner-led growth and the ongoing market disruption
Once dominated by global systems integrators (GSIs) and traditional outsourcers, the managed services market has seen rising competition over the past few years as cloud providers, infrastructure OEMs, VARs and specialized pure play managed services providers (MSPs) vie to deepen their engagements with customers and grow their recurring revenue bases.
