...Five Services to Help Grow Your IT Services Business in 2013 — and Beyond ConnectWise.com Introduction 2013 is a year of great opportunity for Managed Service Providers (MSPs). As reported in the Wall Street Journal, IT spending by businesses with fewer than 500 employees is expected to grow by $4 billion to a total of $27.2 billion in 2015.1 The good news does not end there for MSPs. According to a recent study, 89% of MSP clients are “very” or “mostly” satisfied with their providers.2 In fact, a significant majority of clients reported that they intend to increase their IT spending in the next two years. Now is the time to position your company for growth by preparing to meet new and evolving client needs. 3 If you are an MSP seeking to grow or maintain your business in 2013 and beyond, market conditions are such that there will be many opportunities to acquire new clients or expand on the services provided to your existing clients. Your challenge is in differentiating your business from thousands of other providers in the marketplace who share your ambitions. A recent Wall Street Journal article revealed that there are now over 300,000 independent IT consultants and 114,000 small IT services companies providing support to small and mid-sized businesses (SMB).4 There may also be new competitors on the horizon as technology retailers such as Staples, Apple, and Best Buy eye the SMB marketplace and work to develop offerings that will compete with the traditional managed...

...aimed at critiquing and analyzing the Warid Telecom TV advert for their campaign to register onto the Warid Pesa mobile money transfer platform. In the said advert, a cross section of different publics is presented - a student calls her dad; a guy calls his friend; a stranded young man calls another and a business man calls on another person – and all of them are saying “Please send me money right now!” The situation presented in the TV Ad depicts distressed characters who urgently require a service (money to be sent to them) which the advertiser purports to provide with as less stress as possible (of course in comparison to the competitors on the market). But this is in the punch line at the climax of the advert where WARID promotes their Mobile Money platform branded Warid Pesa as the only such service on the market where a customer neither needs to be currently subscribed on the Warid Telecom network nor have to wait before approval of their registration. The advert cleverly, yet subtly paints the comparative analysis between Warid Pesa and MTN’s Mobile Money by highlighting the fact that for other service providers, one would require to be a subscriber to the respective telephone network, fill registration forms, wait for an approval of the application - then be able to send money to the person receiving money who would also be required to be a registered Mobile Money...

Enter “whatsapp”. The result of a beautiful medley between technology and innovation. For all those who’ve been living under a rock and just came out after the last great extinction, Whatsapp provides an alternate messaging service through the working internet plan from your mobiles/tablets and pcs. For those thinking, Humor me, it’s worth more than 19 billion dollars! That’s equal to the GDP of Uganda. Right, Let us get to the main topic.

...OK…So your tired of your current service provider. You’re tired of their sloppy customer service. Tired of having to speak to their discourteous customer representatives. Tired of receiving calls from unknown numbers in the middle of an important meeting only to hear “Kabhi Kabhi Aditi … ” being played and a mechanical female voice saying “Press 1 to set it as your callertune”. So…What would u want to do?? Change your service provider of course! Ah…but wait..you’re attached to your number! All of us are! Why change the number and put up with the trouble of having to remember a completely new one?? The solution to this seemingly never ending problem arrives in India, early next year in the form of Mobile Number Portability. Wondering what this is all about? Simple..you can switch between service providers without having to change your number and you can do this irrespective of the technology that you use. In other words, if you have a CDMA mobile and want to switch to GSM network, you can go ahead and do it with glee Of course, everything comes with a cost. But luckily in this case, the cost isn’t much high!! According to TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India), subscribers should not be charged more than Rs.19/- for changing their service provider. Mobile services will be disrupted for a few hours when the transfer is in process but this is again a minor hiccup. This service will initially be available only in metros and selected cities by early 2010. And thus...
