Untangle Launches MSP Benchmark Survey

SAN MATEO, Calif. – May 19, 2008 – Untangle, the only security vendor accredited by the MSP Alliance, today announced a call for participation in the industry’s inaugural Managed Services Provider (MSP) Benchmark Study. In partnership with Pacifica Group, an independent marketing consultancy for the high tech industry, Untangle’s MSP Benchmark Study was created to provide an objective set of business metrics to provide insight into the range of MSP business models and performance. The study will serve as a resource for existing MSPs to see how they compare with their peers and provide guidance to traditional VARs and Systems Integrators considering a transition to the MSP business model.

“Untangle’s MSP Benchmark Study should help managed service providers to better understand key pricing trends and business strategies,” said Joe Panettieri, editorial director of MSPmentor.net, the ultimate guide to managed services. “Our readers crave this type of information, and we’re eager to examine the survey results once they are published.” The study will cover MSP services offered, pricing, business size, regional differences and more.
