Potentially Tough for MSPs, MSSPs

Netenrich’s Justin Crotty said the M&A frenzy has been going on a long time and “I’ve never see this kind of capital over the last 10 years.”

“The impact is the smaller companies get rolled up into these big private entities in platform plays,” he said. “There’s a lot of debate whether the products and the services decline after that happens and what’s left. And for the MSPs and MSSPs that they serve, is it a good thing or is it not. We don’t really judge that. But this is not stopping. Is it good for MSPs and MSSPs is the question. And sometimes I think some are not affected, and other times you’ve got switching out tooling and people migrate to other platforms, and it can be disruptive to the partners that are consuming those services and products.”
