Finally, some independent analysis to support what all of you have been reporting over the last 3-4 months. Essentially, the work from the MSPs has been business is good, despite a potentially troubled economy which may or may not be limited to the real estate sector.
This TechWorld article talks about Internet sales remaining unharmed by the rest of the US and global economies. I have always believed the next economic downturn would actually provide the MSPs with an opportunity to shine. Of all the MSPs I talk to, nobody is saying they are having trouble finding qualified clients. In fact, it is the opposite. MSPs have plenty of incoming leads. If anything, they are having logistical issues in keeping up with demand but this is a natural problem and something that can be resolved.
So, let's here from all of you whether you think this article is correct: is the existing economy hampering your business at all?

I'm happy to say that we aren't seeing any problems in the marketplace. One, I think this is a very mixed economy - some very tough sectors, but some very strong sectors. Two, I think any business owner that is thinking conservatively and cautiously due to the economy is more likely to outsource vs. hire a full time person. It's a lot easier mentally to "lay off" your vendor than it is to "lay off" your employee.
