Q&A: Can The Channel Help Boost Customers' IT Confidence?
Submitted by Rick Saia on
Does the survey underscore the potential for managed security service providers to gain more business?
It talks about the opportunity, so I think the survey itself and the findings there talk about the importance and … the opportunity that these managed service security providers have, and where they should focus some of their attention.
Some of the channel findings show that IT professionals have a positive view of IT consultants and their organizations. But it also talks about [how] they're too hardware-focused, and not putting enough of an emphasis on cloud solutions. It demonstrates that MSPs and VARs still have a long way to go in their cloud transitions to catch up with the market, but definitely an opportunity for them.
