Last fall I predicted that video surveillance would emerge as a hot managed service in 2008. Two pieces of anecdotal information are now backing up my prediction. Read More >

If you’d like to be considered for our MSPmentor 100 list, please complete the quick online survey by December 28. The MSPmentor 100 list, slated to be announced in January 2008, will highlight 100 of the industry’s savviest, fastest-growing managed service providers. If your company lands on our list, you’ll receive free publicity on MSPmentor and across major search engines throughout 2008. Plus, we’ll toss in a few surprise benefits. But don’t miss the deadline. The survey is free and open to you through December 28.

We’re wrapping up our MSPmentor 100 survey this month. A quick look at the current survey results shows that a small but growing number of participants are serving global 2000 customers — managing thousands of customer nodes across multiple continents. For us, the trend reinforces the fact that we’ll continue to expand our enterprise-related coverage in 2008.

Surely, small MSPs can learn quite a lot from their much larger rivals — everything from proper staffing to sales management, service level agreements, international pricing models, etc. And as small MSPs begin to manage dozens of small customer networks, they’ll begin to think like enterprise CIOs overseeing multiple departmental networks.

Big or small, MSPs participating in our MSPmentor 100 survey are showing strong year-over-year revenue growth. We expect most companies that make our final list will show triple-digit annual revenue growth on the managed services front.

We’re pleased to say several hundred VARs and managed service providers are participating in our MSPmentor 100 survey — which seeks to identify 100 of the world’s savviest MSPs. In January 2008, we’ll publish the MSPmentor 100 survey results, which will be based on a range of metrics (year-over-year managed services revenue growth, number of devices/nodes managed, etc.).

There’s still time to fill out the survey if you’re interested. It only takes a few minutes. Managed service providers that land on the list will receive a full year of free publicity on this Web site, along with a few other surprise benefits that raise your company’s profile on the Web.
