Good evening, channel partners. Welcome to our latest ChannelE2E Podcast, featuring IT Glue VP of Product Luis Giraldo.

Author: Luis Giraldo, senior director of marketing, N-able
Tonight's Guest: IT Glue's Luis Giraldo

We discuss IT Glue's 2018 Global MSP Benchmark Report -- which offers an in-depth look at today's MSP business drivers, opportunities and challenges. The report introduces the concept of the Golden Quintile -- basically, the top-performing MSPs based on a rare combination of revenue growth (at least 10 percent compounding annually) and EBITDA margins (20 percent or higher).  The research pinpoints what the top performer looks like -- what they do, what they don't do, and where they're heading next.
