Before there were peer groups, there was the MSPAlliance. In 2000, MSPs did not have a lot of options for learning, discussing, and meeting with other MSP owners and operators. This isn't to say that managed services wasn't a topic of conversation or being written about in the press, but the level of discourse and community was nowhere near what it is today.
As we begin 2016 and face a wealth of opportunity (and a few challenges) I would encourage all MSPs to join and become active within the MSPAlliance. Our community of almost 30,000 MSPs and technology enabling vendors is the largest and oldest on the planet. MSPAlliance members have been gathering together, collaborating, sharing ideas, educating new members, and in general helping grow this profession we call managed services.
In 2016, there are more reasons than ever to join MSPAlliance and energize your managed services career. Member benefits include:
- MSP Insurance
- MSP/Cloud Verify certification and SSAE 16 audits
- Online education
- MSPWorld Conferences
- MSPAlliance Town Halls
- Managed Services Institute
- MSP Partner Network
There are a lot of additional benefits to joining but the best way to start your path towards managed services excellence is to join MSPAlliance today. It's the best peer group decision you can make in 2016!
