The Managed Intelligence Provider Playbook

The Managed Intelligence Provider (MIP) Playbook is the HOW. It’s a deeper dive into the Playbook section of the AIP Report, translating vision into execution. Inside, you’ll find the monetization strategies and practical frameworks you need to transform from MSP to MIP; from discovering client opportunities to buying, building, selling and managing intelligence at scale.
Reading the AIP Report gives you the context and the opportunity. The MIP Playbook shows you how to act on it.

"By 2026, we project that the market will clearly separate into two tiers: traditional MSPs competing primarily on price, and managed intelligence providers (MIPs) capturing disproportionate value through agent-enabled services."
Will you lead the shift, or get left behind?
