Channel Insider and MSPAlliance,
the leading association of managed service providers, announced a strategic
alliance to develop and publish leading-edge, actionable resources for the
betterment of the managed services community. The partnership between Channel
Insider and MSPAlliance brings together two of the largest communities of
managed services and solution provider organizations in North
America.
“Channel Insider is committed to providing the solution and service
providers with the best business and technology guidance and strategic market
intelligence for operating efficient, valuable and profitable managed services
businesses. Together, Channel Insider and MSPAlliance will combine our leading
resources and expertise to reach our mutual goal of serving the service
provider community,” says Lawrence M. Walsh, vice president and group publisher
of Channel Insider.
Channel Insider is a leader among technology publishers following the
managed services evolution, and publishes copious research and strategic
guidance for solution and service providers delivering remote services, hosted
services and software as a service. Channel Insider published the “Seven
Laws of Managed Services,” the foundational principles for efficient
managed services operations, and “Managed Services
Evolution in the IT Reseller Channel.”
MSPAlliance, which provides certifications and support services for managed
service provider companies, recently launched a new certification for
professionals in the managed services industry to demonstrate technical and
business acumen in managed services operations. It’s also the host of MSPWorld,
the leading series of managed services training and professional networking
events in North America and Europe.

Weaver, president of MSPAlliance. “By partnering with Channel Insider,
MSPAlliance members around the world will gain access to diverse and
cutting-edge information and resources to help them become better managed
service providers.”
