Overview

At the Ed-Fi Tech Congress 2022, a session was held to discuss the need of a Managed Service Provider (MSP) Special Interest Group (SIG).  Attendees were strong in agreement that a SIG is needed to discuss topics related to deploying and managing Ed-Fi technology at-scale, which will be gathering in the coming weeks after the session.
