The MSP guide to recurring revenue streams
AI is creating new opportunities for managed services providers (MSPs), but the opportunity goes beyond helping customers deploy the latest technology. As organizations adopt AI, they need ongoing help keeping their environments secure, governed, and ready for what comes next. Join Dux Raymond Sy, 17-year Microsoft MVP and Regional Director, for a practical conversation about turning those needs into recurring services for your managed service practice. Dux will explore opportunities around AI trust and security, Microsoft Intune, Microsoft Agent 365, and Microsoft Purview, and talk about how MSPs can build lasting customer value around them. Drawing on more than 20 years at the intersection of technology, business, and leadership, Dux works with organizations and partners around the world to move from AI experimentation to execution with security, governance, data readiness, and people at the center. Come ready for ideas you can take back to your business, plus the opportunity to learn and connect with fellow MSPs.
