Those Who Don’t Learn From History are Doomed to Repeat It

Managed services continues to be one of the fastest-growing segments of the technology services industry, but is not without its challenges. In my years of experience, I keep noticing managed services businesses making the same mistakes time and again. In an effort to offer solutions to some common problems, I created this ebook to act as a guide for avoiding the typical pitfalls companies might encounter on the road to establishing a successful managed services business.

In this ebook, I offer insight and solutions to the top 5 mistakes managed services businesses make:

While making any of these mistakes can cause irreparable damage to the long-term health and sustainability of your managed services business, there is hope! It’s simply a matter of identifying problem areas early and knowing how to fix them.
