'What am I doing wrong or what am I doing right or how can I improve my business both operationally and financially?' Our mission as The MSP Centrifuge peer group is to help MSP's discover, develop, and implement industry best practices methods for the benefit of the service provider and the recipient of the services being offered. The Service Leadership, Inc. partnership paves the path for MSP's to better understand the answers to those lingering questions or concerns via the Service Leadership Index™ quarterly operational and financial benchmark reports. Based on the results, we as a peer group can compare, analyze and then collaborate to help those MSP's that need it in the areas of their business that require the most attention. This is one key component to discovering, developing and implementing the ever-changing industry best practices methods that all MSP's are after."

Paul Dippell, Service Leadership CEO and publisher of the Service Leadership Index™, commented by saying, "We're pleased to welcome The MSP Centrifuge to the ranks of leading Solution Provider peer group operators who include their members in the Service Leadership Index™. Each quarter, they will gain valuable insight into their performance as compared to others with the same Predominant Business Model©, within and outside of The MSP Centrifuge . We continue to see evolution and differentiation in the peer group marketplace as Solution Provider owners and executives take advantage of wider choices to meet their specific business goals.
