The State of MSPs 2025 Report
|
| |
|
Paul Barge, Channel Development Manager
|
| |
Paul's presentation will use the Datto State of the MSP Industry 2025 Look Ahead: Trends, Growth and Strategies for Success to provide an in-depth look at how MSPs worldwide are driving growth, tackling challenges and leveraging technology to stay ahead. Drawing on insights from over 1,500 MSPs worldwide, the report shares practical strategies to help you thrive, innovate and succeed in this essential yet often underappreciated industry. Whether you’re a small, agile MSP or a large provider, this report will guide you toward maximizing profitability and ensuring long-term success.
Some of the report’s key findings answer these questions:
- What are the secrets of high-earning MSPs? Learn how top performers earning $10M+ annually are leveraging automation, cloud solutions and expanded managed services.
- How are MSPs tackling cybersecurity challenges? Discover how to address threats like phishing, AI-driven attacks and remote work vulnerabilities while staying competitive.
- What does it take to improve profitability? Explore strategies to charge what you’re worth, streamline operations and build a sustainable, high-margin business.
- How are MSPs balancing hybrid work and security? See how hybrid work models are reshaping IT demands and creating new opportunities for MSPs.
- What role does vendor consolidation play in profitability? Find out why simplifying vendor management is helping MSPs reduce costs and improve integration.
- How is AI reshaping the MSP landscape? Learn how AI-powered tools are driving efficiency, enhancing security and opening new revenue streams.
- Why is cloud adoption critical for success? Dive into how MSPs are leading their clients through cloud migrations to improve scalability and flexibility.

My M&A story – experience from the trenches of a successful business sale
|
|
|
Dean Calvert - CEO and founder, Calvert Technologies
|
| |
August 1, 2024 marked a significant date in the life of Calvert Technologies when it was officially acquired by Blackbird IT, after Dean had founded and run the company for 29 years.
There’s a lot of talk about M&A activity, but often much of it remains a mystery. Why do you sell, how do you sell, how do you find someone to buy, what are the “gotchas” you need to be aware of?
Dean will share his journey from sole owner to employee within a much larger MSP, and key learnings from the process.
This won’t be a death by PowerPoint session, and attendees will be able to ask questions.
Naturally some confidential details can’t be shared, but Dean will be the open book he has been since starting the Adelaide SBS Users Group (pre-cursor to SMBiT Professionals) in July 2003.
