Within Europe, both the Netherlands and Belgium are among the early adopters and large users of MSP programs. Nevertheless, there appears to be a substantial difference in the interpretation of the various MSP programs. After all, MSPs are constantly adapting their services and evolving with changing client demands, technological applications and innovations.
