The shift in IT procurement to “as-a-service” solutions (SaaS, UCaaS, etc) has fueled the growth of Managed Service Providers. Recent market studies predict this trend will continue to accelerate over the next decade or more. A major driver of this significant opportunity for MSPs is the emergence of “Network-as-a-service” (NaaS). NaaS takes the “as-a-service” approach to a new level because it is a business model for delivering enterprise-wide area network services virtually on a subscription basis.

Watch this 7 minute EDUbrief video from Telecom Reseller “Boost Revenue with NaaS” produced by Gary Audin. This EDUbrief presents the thought process when an MSP considers offering Network as a Service.

Summer is over. The kids are back in school. Vacations are a distant memory. Fall is when we turn our focus on what really matters in life – how our favorite NFL team is going to do this season. But even if you don't follow professional football, the game still has things to teach us – especially when it comes to expense management. An effective approach to expense management – and a successful football team – will focus on three areas: speed (and saving time); certainty (and reducing errors); and insight or turning raw data into usable information and actionable intelligence. Let’s look at each of these areas.

When it comes to effectively managing and reducing telecom network expenses, most service providers rely on two different strategies: telecom carrier management and network grooming.

Both strategies can be highly beneficial and have their own advantages (and limitations). In addition, they can also create internal organizational friction when being implemented, especially if an organization wants to pursue both strategies at the same time. In this post, we discuss how to avoid these pitfalls and how to get the most out of both strategies.
