Since 2001 I’ve provided technology solutions to companies in the Milwaukee area. I thought I had a pretty bullet proof ship until I volunteered to be one of the subject matter experts who came together at CompTIA headquarters to help define the Information Technology Managed Service Provider Credential or MSP Credential for short.
The team was the most talented group of men I’ve ever worked with. Team members were from big businesses and small businesses, from companies that service regulated industries like health care and legal as well as those who service manufacturing and retail.
The framework of the credential was unveiled this week at the CompTIA Annual Members Meeting (AMM). I saw mostly positive reviews from those in attendance.
- MSP Businesses: Rave reviews
- Consultants to MSP Businesses: Disconnect, this program would provide a great deal of information that a consultant would deliver to the prospect MSP. It could be a problem for a MSP consulting business.
- Vendors: Rave reviews
The credential is now being tested by a small group privately before public release in May. For more information visit Corey Simpsons Blog on the credential.
