As global service providers try to homogenize this marketplace our panellists, made up of delegates and sponsors, will discuss how Europe’s MSPs can differentiate themselves and create their own USP. This is an open debate and after initial thoughts from the panel we would like delegates to ask questions or contribute their own opinions. Panel members: - Sander van Dongen - Itum Solutions B.V., Servé Bunnik - CITIC Telecom CPC, Johan Bakker - MSP Mentor
Johan Bakker has been active with the MSP business field for over 20 years and has managed and owned companies with the IT sector including the launch of his own company, MSP Mentor. Bakker has a large focus on helping IT companies from a pay per hour concept to a full MSP operation. Last year, in his keynote, he talked about how to optimise your MSP to get the best out of your resources and systems, and how to do more than just moving from break fix to managed to future proof your business. This year Johan will be co-host of the event moderating the two sessions after lunch before being a panellist in the ‘Big Debate’.
