2010 was a busy and exciting year for the MSPAlliance. Some highlights include:
– Membership grew from 9,000 members to now over 14,000!
– As part of our giving back program, we waived membership dues for all members for the entire year! It was a HUGE investment and in our opinion, well worth it!
– Our Accreditation Program made huge strides in the business consumer community when Intuit made it mandatory for all QuickBooks Hosting Providers to be accredited by the MSPAlliance.
– The MSPAlliance was asked to speak to the FFIEC and share our Accreditation Program with FFIEC Examiners. We were happy to do so and are happy to report that the FFIEC will be using our accreditation program for their bank audits!
– The MSPAlliance started offering SAS70 Audits.
– MSPAlliance was instrumental in the DO IT Smarter/ClearPointe Technologies M&A deal. We also helped numerous MSPs and Vendors with company valuations, using our proprietary Managed Services Valuation Calculator ™
– MSPAlliance helped dozens of MSPs and Vendors in a variety of consulting engagements, from channel development to help with sales and marketing.
– MSPAlliance launched its MSP Angel Network for MSPs, to help MSPs and Vendors obtain funding.
