2023 is officially upon us. It’s no longer “just around the corner” or a distant thought as you mentally curse the holiday music blaring over the speakers at Target. It is here. It has arrived. Get your confetti ready.

As providers ponder the… interesting year that was 2022, there are many things to consider heading into the new one. Indeed, 2023 promises to continue to see several trends that are disrupting the managed services sector.

Managed Services in 2023

So, as managed services pivots in terms of new products, services and offerings, where are MSPs setting their sights?
