Here are a selection of community resources for UK Managed Service Providers. Peer and User Groups are a fantastic way of accelerating your learning and building your business, and I highly encourage you to get involved.
The community was formed in an effort to provide a platform for resellers, distributors, and vendors to focus on developing best practices, business education and resources for companies engaged in the delivery of IT services in the UK.
The community meets face-to-face four times a year, and the LinkedIn group keeps the community in touch between meetings. There is no requirement to be a member of CompTIA to join the community, and attendance at the community meetings is free.
