LogicMonitor‘s recent global research report, “The Next-Gen Managed Service Provider,” covers the state of MSPs in 2022. It highlights findings ranging from the time it takes to fill engineering roles to the top IT and security priorities of MSPs and enterprises. It also speaks to some of the key and unique hurdles MSPs are facing.
As the pandemic continues to disrupt the normal course of business, providers are in the thick of it — accelerating digital transformation, and delivering services despite outages, cyberattacks, employee attrition and lack of resources. Many enterprises (55%) are spending more money with their MSPs today compared to previous years. This is as they migrate to the cloud (36%), undergo digital transformation (35%), and focus on managing cybersecurity threats (34%).
