Gartner research predicts worldwide IT services spending will increase 2.4% in 2023, though first quarter layoffs could drive more outsourcing options for providers that support mid-size and enterprise customers. Successful MSPs should continue to uncover scores of new sales opportunities in the years ahead. Unfortunately, for some providers, those optimistic forecasts can be a blessing and a curse. While bright market prospects make it easier for MSPs to build a base of new clients and add incremental services and revenue streams, that situation can lead to overconfidence and lax business practices.
