| |September 20164CIOReviewEditorialVOL 4 · ISSUE 4-9 · SEPTEMBER 22 - 2016Managed Services Market is expected to be worth $193.34 billion by 2019. Cloud is one of the major factors driving this growth. It continues to drive innovation in the managed services arena and major cloud players are planning to enter the market. Some vendors have developed MSP-oriented offerings, while others are launching managed services programs or working to narrow the gap between professional services automation and remote monitoring and management. MSPs, meanwhile, have made vendor-focused acquisitions, hired key executives and changed their name to drive more managed services growth. End clients are undergoing a sea change in how they perceive managed services and what they need from their MSP relationships. They are working through ongoing transitions to cloud apps and services, and dealing with the Internet of Things and its ever-increasing number and variety of devices. To process this increased complexity while maintaining reliability and security of core hardware and software, they are putting a bigger premium on managed services and seeking longer-term, more strategic MSP relationships.In response to demand, MSPs have increased revenue expectations for managed services. However, they also are finding that the meaning of managed services is in flux as lines are blurred among once-discrete offerings. Clients want reliable but personalized touches from MSPs, but they also want proactive guidance on how to maximize technology investments. To be successful in this dynamic market, MSPs need to invest in systems, tools and solutions that provide insight needed to be more proactive partners. They should offer service automation to free up time for consultative conversations. Also, reliable and secure maintenance of an ever-escalating number of endpoints is needed, preferably in a cloud environment. Clients are looking to MSPs to not only help them use technology more efficiently, but also more strategically.In this issue, CIOReview presents to you 20 Most Promising Managed Service Providers who have successfully helped organizations with their innovative offerings.
