I also agree there will always be a home for some small MSPs. In either event MSPs must always think "valuation". Growth, profits and preditability = higher valuation. A few of the ingredients needed for all that is differentiation and an efficient sales/marketing machine. Joe,

We certainly are getting a good response from MSPs that are interested in joining us to combine forces and achieve greater scale. Two clarifications for the post; Over 70% of All Covered's revenue comes from recurring managed services and our "reselling" efforts are limited to providing value-added procurement services to our managed clients.
