Managed Service Providers (MSPs) are increasingly adopting open-source software to offer clients cost-effective, secure, and customizable IT solutions. This shift is driven by rising demands for data sovereignty, security, and reduced reliance on costly proprietary software. Open-source tools allow MSPs to provide clients with greater control over data, while also reducing operational expenses. However, transitioning to open-source requires staff training and community collaboration, and MSPs must navigate challenges like software stability and support infrastructure. Despite these hurdles, open-source presents a valuable opportunity for MSPs to differentiate their services and drive future growth.
