Market Backdrop - Consumerization of IT More and more, users tell you ….. the way they want to work…
Survey in Apr 2013 of MSP’s using GFI MAXfocusing on Mobile Devices … the opportunity for MSPs
Conclusions Challenge • Mobile growing FAST & desktops shipments stagnant. • Users ARE telling MSPs the way they want to work and will expect to bring their own devices (BYOD) • MSPs will be working as much with employee owned devices (BYOD) as business owned devices (security will be a challenge) Opportunity • MSPs …. Can make money enabling and securing something customers want (and that’s a “strong” want) • AND, there may well be other services MSPs can provide around Mobile lifecycle, eg: Airtime, Handsets, Insurance, Disposal, etc. (a recurring/reseller revenue opportunity) More Information • GFI MAX Mobile Device Management (& Enablement) – Mid Year 2013 • More Information - Email: Chris.Martin@GFI.COM
