Treeline’s Peter Doyle targets the $100B MSP market with humans, automation, and AI—not pure-play SaaS.

Treeline CEO Peter Doyle argues that the $100B managed service provider market is at least a decade behind modern technology, despite supporting critical IT, security, and compliance operations. Treeline combines technicians with software, automation, and AI rather than adding another SaaS tool to the 30–35 systems many MSPs already use. Doyle says legacy workflows and change management make implementation the real bottleneck, so Treeline began as a services company and is gradually becoming more software-driven. Its goal is proactive IT: resolving issues before customers file tickets and cutting response times from 30 minutes to one. Doyle expects traditional MSPs to remain for 10–15 years, while AI adoption increasingly favors forward-deployed engineers and sticky systems embedded across entire companies.
