The majority of MSPs are struggling to scale their businesses profitably. The glory days of managing Windows-based PCs and servers are over and the software systems for operating networks haven’t evolved in over 20 years. Managing a network is still largely a manual activity -- it’s inefficient and does not scale well. In fact, there’s only ONE way to scale a manually maintained managed network service: Hire more employees. But there's a big market opportunity in proactively managing network infrastructure for your clients. . I’m not talking about managing servers and endpoints. I’m talking about network infrastructure, the linchpin of the corporate network.
