Last week in Dallas Texas approximately 20 executives from MSPs all over the country gathered to discuss Merger and Acquisition (M&A) trends and issues facing their industry. The workshop covered a wide variety of issues, all M&A related, from deal structure to valuation models currently in use.

Most importantly, feedback on the workshop from the MSPs has been outstanding.

I thought I'd start a blog just for the great comments we receive from members. These two just came in during the last week. We will be adding to this blog from time to time so keep sending in your comments, especially if you've received a value out of your affiliation with the MSPAlliance. We certainly appreciate all of you!
