Analysis
Although reports like these are nice to see, they fall into a typical pattern of research focusing on large enterprise companies (many of the software and hardware vendors) and ignore the providers who take these solutions to market, the real MSP professionals.
Still, it is comforting to see our profession continue its global growth.
