A Christmas Carol for Modern MSPs

You’re probably familiar with the classic Dickens tale, A Christmas Carol, as it surfaces in one form or another every holiday season. There are many great versions inspired by the original, indeed!

Maybe you’re like us and your favorite rendition is, of course, A Muppet Christmas Carol?

At least it was our favorite. Until George Mellor, President and CEO of KloudReadiness, shared this version on ModernMSP.com…

Thanks for the shout-out, George! Happy Holidays to all!
