I have a couple of friends that have independently told me about some interesting happenings in our marketplace lately:
- Verizon is offering IT management services to small offices. I have seen their model, pricing, etc. I’m not worried about them being a competitive threat, but I’m sure they’ll sign a lot of small customers and we’ll start running into them more.
- Two major telecoms are in a bidding war over a small, remote IT services company that focuses primarily on the home office and very small business marketplaces. I’m not a journalist…I’m not going to leak the name!
Very interesting times in this marketplace! The question is becoming WHO ISN’T A MANAGED SERVICE PROVIDER?!
