With a significant increase in global demand for cloud services and data security, the managed services market is expected to reach an estimated $393.02 billion by 2025. Factors contributing to this growth include the need for specialized providers to manage complex IT infrastructures and the rising trend of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), which necessitates enhanced data security measures. North America leads the market, but Europe and Asia-Pacific are also experiencing substantial growth driven by cloud adoption and digital transformation.The episode highlights a recent report indicating a slowdown in managed services revenue growth, returning to pre-COVID levels, despite strong profitability for managed service providers (MSPs). The average adjusted EBITDA for MSPs stands at 13.2%, with private equity-backed MSPs reporting even higher figures. In contrast, value-added resellers (VARs) have seen significant revenue growth, particularly in Europe, which experienced a 6.9% increase in managed services revenue. The discussion emphasizes the need for MSPs to adapt to changing client spending patterns as the market normalizes.Host Dave Sobel also covers the competitive landscape, noting several key announcements from major players in the industry. ConnectWise has launched a Professional Services Automation (PSA) initiative aimed at enhancing MSP success through streamlined processes and improved efficiency. Meanwhile, NineMinds has introduced Alga PSA, a free open-source platform designed to compete with established PSA providers, and SuperOps has unveiled Monika, an AI-powered companion for MSPs that offers personalized insights and solutions. These developments signal a shift in the market as new entrants challenge traditional providers.The episode concludes with a focus on the growing importance of cybersecurity and the need for human expertise in addressing complex threats. As the demand for AI services continues to exceed supply, the global cloud market has reached an impressive $84 billion, with major players like AWS, Microsoft, and Google Cloud holding a significant share. Solt encourages listeners to consider the implications of these trends for the future of managed services and the evolving landscape of IT solutions. Four things to know today00:00 IT and Managed Services Market Faces Growth Normalization as Global Demand for Cloud and Data Security Soars06:49 IT Nation Connect: ConnectWise Expands Asio with PSA Integration, Security Enhancements, and Unified Data Protection for MSPs08:38 Competitive Moves in PSA: NineMinds Launches Open-Source Alga PSA as SuperOps Introduces AI Companion Monica for MSPs10:50 Pax8 Adds EasyDMARC, 8x8 Unveils AI Upgrades, and Connecty AI Secures Funding: A Look at New Cloud and Data Management Solutions  Supported by: https://www.huntress.com/mspradio/https://mspradio.com/engage/   All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

By Adam Turteltaub It used to be that tracking email usage was considered tough. These days the workforce is also communicating via text, WeChat, Slack and countless other channels both internally and externally. That can be a total nightmare since prosecutors want access to all those conversations. What makes things harder is that employees may be resistant, feeling that the communications they have on their phone, especially in organizations with a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy, is private. The employee owns the phone, not the company. Eddie Green (LinkedIn), CEO of SnippetSentry advises companies get their heads around this problem. Digital compliance is broadening out from the investment community to pharma and elsewhere. To manage the issue, some companies are now scrapping BYOD policies and making it clear that all work communications need to go on work-owned devices. They are also looking for solutions which enable employees to communicate in familiar ways, but with the tracking that logs all those communications. Listen in to understand the challenge and how to approach it more effectively.

“Keeping the inventory up to date, make sure that you have all possible points of entry covered and accounted for, similar to a building.
