(Amy Rutt, board president of the Managed Service Provider Consortium (MSPC) and CEO of Ciracom, an Alexandria, Va., IT solutions and managed services provider) Rutt says that MSPs must accept the reality that traditional RMM and PSA products are fading in importance and, as this occurs, channel pros and others must focus on adding value through consultative services and helping customers piece together technology more effectively.
