Topic 1: Louisiana Secretary of State on Defining MSPs

We do a little analysis on Dave’s interview on his Business of Tech podcast. What consitutes “malpractice” for an IT service provider?

“If self-regulation doesn’t work, the government will step in.”

And, of course, how will legislation define MSPs and MSSPs?

Topic 2: COVID-19 and a Possible Recession

I’m not any of us understands what’s going on with the Covid-19 virus or with the economy. But there definitely appears to be a connection. We analyze a bit for the IT consultants out there.

Topic 3: Robots aren’t taking our jobs, they are becoming our bosses
