ConnectWise IT Nation: 6 Takeaways For The Future Of MSPs

Being in the MSP business my regular question is "where is this industry headed?" It's nice to hear that Veracity is headed in the right direction.

ConnectWise IT Nation: 6 Takeaways For The Future Of MSPs



The bigger issue is that our goal is to be world class.  That means excellence and this is what gets me out of bed in the morning.  Who wants to get up for average?  not me.  Never the less.  The fear is that our business will evaporate with the growth of cloud services.  I think that as long as people are the ones being served there will always be a need for managed services providers.  It's just that the services being provided will change over time.  2016 looks to be a great year!

Under Armour and HTC built an entire fitness ecosystem

I've had a Fit Bit for about 2 months now and I love it.  What I really like is that the app integrates with "lose it" the calorie counting application I'm using.  This will also be great this summer because Lose it integrates with "Strava"  which is my cycling application which tracks my miles and calories.  Well.  it looks like UnderArmor and HTC have got this figured out with their new ecosystem.  This is the type of thinking that works great when it comes to technology.  The focus is health and fitness from a total coverage perspective.  There are many factors that effect your ability to impact your fitness beyond just steps or calories.  This is cool.
