Briefly

A recent report from Lansweeper reveals that 90% of Managed Service Providers (MSPs) consider AI essential for future growth, though only 41% have successfully integrated it beyond 25%. The most common applications of AI among MSPs include IT monitoring and incident management. Key challenges to adoption include poor data quality, legacy system integration, and a shortage of qualified professionals. Varied regional concerns exist, with EMEA MSPs citing budget issues and North American MSPs struggling more with talent acquisition for AI solutions.
