With network availability more critical than ever, end clients are demanding that more network and security issues are to be resolved remotely.  This is putting increased pressure on MSPs, VARs and GSI’s to provide a wider range of technical skills that span a broader geographic footprint on a 24/7 basis.

Another challenge facing channel firms is that the cost to deliver this level of service is becoming increasingly challenging when factoring in the price points that need to be achieved.  The additional operational overhead required to fulfil the desired outcome such as team members, technical know-how and around the clock availability means partnering with a trusted channel services provider such as Nebula becomes a sensible and more commercially viable option.

The rise of ‘pay-as-you-go’ consumption-based services

Over the past 10 years, the way in which we consume technology services has rapidly evolved to a landscape of well-established, subscription-based pricing models that have now become the de facto choice for most businesses.  This consumer behaviour comes as no surprise, as the way in which we manage our personal finances is also dominated by subscription-based contracts, whether that be our mobile phone, Netflix account or Ring doorbell.
