MSP Processes and Challenges Discussion

Following our discussion last year about the security needs and challenges of SMBs, I would like to invite you for another ~60-minute interview session. This time, instead of focusing on your SMB customers, I'd like to delve deeper into your challenges and day-to-day workflows as an MSP/MSSP. Your insights and experiences are incredibly valuable, and I believe that this follow-up session will help the team I support better understand and address the unique challenges of MSPs/MSSPs who specifically serve SMBs.
