Smoother customer onboarding needed to support increasing demand for MSPs

The global managed services market is anticipated to generate revenue of $594.8 billion by 2031, with growth expected to be bolstered due to the rising adoption of cloud computing services among businesses aiming to enter new markets more effectively. Whilst businesses need to adapt to keep up with the demands of today, MSPs can step in and do more to help ease this burden through smoother customer onboarding with their cloud landscapes and offerings.

“Cloud is integral to every company’s IT operations,” says Mark Appleton, Chief Customer Officer at ALSO Cloud UK. “For MSPs, ensuring the migration of customers to a cloud-based marketplace platform is integral to supporting this increased demand - it is their responsibility to establish trust and set the tone when onboarding new customers.”

Monoculture: Could this risk affect your organization in a major way?

Quick introduction to monocultures

As an information security professional, you’ve likely heard the term ‘monoculture’ in relation to agriculture. In that context, a single type of crop, – take sweet corn for example – has a monopoly on a field. A sudden crop killer (virus or destructive insects) can lead to abominable consequences.

Monocultures in software and cybersecurity are subject to the same forces, vulnerabilities and problems as agricultural monocultures. A monoculture may yield some benefit, but do the risks outweigh the monoculture’s perceived utility?
