But in the digital era, when every company is a technology company, tech vendors and their sales channels are turning their attention from the saturated enterprise market to the gigantic opportunity presented by the midmarket.

The definition of midmarket companies varies widely, but we can safely say that businesses that have between 50 and 1,000 employees fall in that category, as do organizations that claim revenue between $100 million and $3 billion. This is a very large market that is a greenfield opportunity for a lot of technology vendors and third-party managed service providers (MSPs).
