Managed Services Have Become Increasingly Profitable

Managed services have moved firmly into first place as the top revenue producer for managed service providers. More than 40 percent of survey respondents said managed services provide at least half of their revenue; 15 percent said it accounts for more than three quarters of their revenue.

Nearly two-thirds of MSPS are already managing between 100 and 2,500 endpoints, and they expect this number to grow exponentially. That's because they need help working through the transition to cloud services and the Internet of Things while still maintaining reliable and secure hardware and software, according to Autotask.
