What Top-Performing MSPs Do Differently with Peter Kujawa (EP 1095)
Buying another tool won’t fix an MSP that never fully implements the tools it already owns. I caught up with Peter Kujawa at IT Nation Connect Global 2026 to talk about MSP profitability, agentic AI, and why the best-run providers are pulling further ahead. Peter leads Service Leadership and IT Nation Evolve at ConnectWise, and he shares what the benchmarking data reveals about service efficiency, staffing, and profitable growth.
We get into ConnectWise’s agentic RMM and service intake capabilities, the difference between saving technician time and creating business capacity, and the operational habits that separate top performers from everyone else. We also cover tech stack standardization, customer-level profitability, data hygiene, and why knowing your numbers matters before buying the next shiny object.
