So what is the 'next big thing' Datto may be looking at?

We showed [at DattoCon] what our labs team is thinking about in how do we open new markets for MSPs. Our labs team had an idea around how we can make very small clients with zero to 10 employees profitable for MSPs. And that was around doing something with VDI [virtual desktop infrastructure]. There are other areas we pay attention to like, could MSPs generate revenue from IoT-type stuff, for example. That's another place we're paying attention.

It really comes back to what can we do for our MSPs, and what can we do to enable them to grow their businesses.
