As part of the CRN MSP 500 we asked top MSP executives to tell us what they see as the biggest challenges to their managed services businesses this year. Here’s what 20 had to say.

Uncertain Times

The IT industry and the channel entered 2023 with what may be the greatest amount of economic uncertainty in decades with businesses facing inflation, rising interest rates, ongoing supply chain disruptions and warning signs of a possible recession.

Add to that the accelerating rate of technology evolution, the shift to hybrid home-office work practices, cybersecurity threats that are growing in number and sophistication, and the never-ending search for skilled tech workers, and you’ve got quite the list of challenges facing managed service providers this year.
