A former PW senior manager once said to me: "One stop shopping", but I
guess he meant the secretarial pool, but that is another story altogether..
:)
One stop shopping, not one size fits all. If one get all their Internet
connectivity, E2E security instead of paying this company for this, this
company for that, and have the two or three companies talk to each other
regarding DNS, IP address, etc, etc. But since the ADT model made VC's
drool, everyone tried to get in the game. But the problem here is that if
the market is only going to cap off at about $300 million, the players in
about a year will be down to about 5 or 6, The smaller MSP will either go
bust or got bought by a medium sized MSP, and then the medium sized MSP
will get gobbled up the by the Larger sized MSP. The Larged sized MSP will
get gobbled up by the surviving ISPs out there..
But back to the main fair fare of this thread. How do you know an MSP is
worth the monthly overhead. ??
