Let’s be real: a lot of integrators know they should be building recurring monthly revenue (RMR), but it’s easier said than done. Some don’t know where to start. Others are grabbing network gear from distributor bundles, cashing in the quick sale, and moving on—without thinking about what happens a year down the road. Short-term wins, long-term problems.
I’ve been there too. Chasing project after project, hoping the next install would be bigger, better, smoother. It never ended. Clients still called with problems. Margins kept shrinking. The hustle got old fast. I realized I wasn’t building a business—I was running on a hamster wheel.
That’s why I started paying attention to Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) for integrators. And trust me, it’s not just another buzzword. It’s how you get off the hamster wheel.
RMR isn’t a mystery—but it’s not always intuitive, either. This CE Pro breakdown lays out the different recurring revenue models available and why they matter more than ever in today’s integration business.
NaaS means you stop selling a pile of gear and start selling peace of mind. Your client gets a network that’s built right, managed right, and doesn’t fall apart in six months. No big upfront costs. No “hope this holds” installs. You get steady, predictable RMR without constantly grinding for the next job.
At SpecOp Secure, we design, deploy, and manage secure networks using enterprise-grade Cisco Meraki hardware—the same trusted tech protecting major businesses and institutions. We’re the ones handling the updates, the security, the monitoring. You stay the hero without killing yourself on service calls.
Look, gear sales alone aren’t going to carry you anymore. Margins are brutal. Clients want everything to “just work,” and if it doesn’t, you’re the one they call.
And let’s be honest: a lot of integrators are still spec’ing cheaper network gear just to keep the bid low. Sometimes it’s to hit a package discount. Sometimes it’s just habit. But those savings up front come with real risks—especially when you’re working with products that have been linked to serious security flaws and overseas data concerns like this one (read more about it here and here). It’s not just about performance.
It’s about trust. And with NaaS:
It’s how you move from grinding to growing.
Here’s the shift: clients aren’t asking for a race to the bottom anymore. They’re asking for networks that don’t break. Systems they don’t have to reboot. Service that doesn’t feel like a gamble.
With NaaS, you give them all that—at a predictable monthly price. They don’t take a big hit up front, and they get ongoing peace of mind. You get paid every month.
And instead of trying to win with discounts, you win with value. You’re not selling the cheapest thing. You’re selling the best thing, done right.

Here’s the ugly truth: a lot of so-called “managed network” deals just dump the hard stuff back on you. More headaches. More late nights. More tech support battles.

We handle the messy parts—predictive wireless design, proactive monitoring, real-time troubleshooting—using enterprise-grade Cisco Meraki to deliver real results, not just promises.
You stay focused on building relationships, landing new projects, and looking like the rockstar your clients think you are.
You’re not selling Wi-Fi anymore. You’re selling performance, security, and peace of mind.
