Rick Whiting

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.

Stronghold Data

James Richards, CEO

Joplin, Mo.

Overcoming a potential recessionary mindset with some clients. However, most of our clients are more optimistic and have greater expectations and plans than the average news report. Also, continued supply chain slowness.

TechSolutions

Rich Kenney, Co-Founder and VP

Wilmington, Del.

Our biggest challenge for 2023 will be educating our clients so they can better understand why we are recommending significant security hardening. Often, the C-suite is the barrier to implementing needed technology as cost, logistics, or other reasoning becomes a roadblock.

Visual Edge IT

Austin Vanchieri, Chairman and CEO

North Canton, Ohio

The biggest challenge remains hiring strategic engineers in specialty areas like security, cloud and automation.

Xperteks Computer Consultancy

Marcial Velex, CEO

New York

Competition as bigger MSPs enter the arena.
