Customized “MSP in a Box”

Delivering business results in 90 days 

Most VARs today have significant worries about tomorrow.  A startling number won’t be in business by 2020.  With their client base moving from on-premise to the cloud and other outside services, they are losing revenues as their traditional hardware deals are diminishing.  To maintain their base many VARs are striving to build a Managed Service Provider (MSP).

Now the cycle of uncertainty begins.  Will these VARS be losing their significant clients and top performers? How will they redesign jobs and compensation structure? Can they manage adding new and unfamiliar functions that have never been staffed before to deliver 24/7 service?

If the VAR does manage to adapt and stand up a MSP, how do they continue to differentiate from all the other MSPs doing the same exact thing?  They must confront what to spend, how to spend it, and where to spend it, to meet a continually changing services goal for their existing clients, a moving target for both parties.  This will require a major restructure of their business, delivery strategy and costing model.

How do you get there from here?

Even facing these daunting prospects, some VARs become paralyzed by the sheer intensity and volume of the choices they face.  They must move deliberately forward to survive with the leaders in their industry.
