YouAttest: Product of the Week for MSPs

The recommendation of an expert in the field matters for a product or service because it provides credibility, trust, and validation. That’s why we’re incredibly proud to be named “The Product of the Week” by  Christophe Foulon, CISSP, GSLC, MSIT and CPF Coaching.

There are loads of products out there for MSPs to review and deploy – that’s why the market appreciates those that review the products for consultants and managed service providers.

And that’s exactly what his team did. They reviewed the products in the identity attestation and identity governance category  – specifically with an eye to how MSPs would utilize the offering.   

The offering needed to be:

• Multi-tenanted
• Easily deployed
• Intuitive
• And no-code

The solution that met these criteria was YouAttest.  

The managed services industry is experiencing rapid growth, driven by increasing cybersecurity needs, the rise of cloud services, and advancements in artificial intelligence (AI). Industry analysts predict that this upward trend will continue for years to come.

According to Jay McBain, chief analyst at Canalys, the managed services market is expected to reach $548 billion in 2024, a 12% increase from 2023. McBain notes that IT organizations allocate more than twice as much spending to services compared to hardware or software, and services are growing at a faster pace than both. He adds that 86,000 managed service providers (MSPs) generate at least 30% of their revenue from recurring services, while 335,000 companies offer at least one managed service.

The MSP landscape, which was predominantly North American when it began in the late 1990s, has now evolved into a global industry. North America accounts for 45% of the market, with Europe comprising 29%, and Asia representing 23%, according to McBain.

And here’s why you should seek out expert recommendations for yourself and your services/company to continue your growth and gain new clients:

1. Builds Trust and Credibility
2. Enhances Product or Service Reputation
3. Influences Decision-Making
4. Differentiates from Competitors
5. Leverages Social Proof
6. Increases Perceived Value

In summary, expert recommendations provide a strong foundation of trust, validate the quality of a product or service, and positively influence consumer behavior. They play a critical role in establishing credibility and differentiating a brand in a competitive market.
