Faced with 2020’s global pandemic and economic downturn, ConnectWise worked to help our partners navigate the challenges at hand, as well as continue to create technology solutions that help pave the way for their lasting legacy.

For the first time in ChannelPro’s 13-year history, we’re dedicating an entire issue to one critical topic: bringing greater diversity, equity, and inclusion to IT—and why MSPs, VARs, and solution providers achieve even more success when everyone contributes to the tech economy.

This Expert Guide from ChannelPro will walk you through what you need to up your managed services game, such as developing cloud solutions, offering managed security and managed IoT services, plus why you should standardize to increase efficiency.

Clearly one of the greatest opportunities for resellers, Network Service Providers (NSP) and Managed Services Providers (MSP) in the current economic climate rests with the speed and efficiency that Third-Party Maintenance (TPM) agreements can rapidly be sold and implemented for enterprise and small and medium business (SMB) clients.

Managed Services Providers (MSPs) are hyper focused on generating new sources of revenue to generate badly needed cash to survive the current economic correction. In part one of this series on Third-Party Maintenance (TPM), we painted the picture for MSPs to engage in a pandemic pivot and protect their business model “”portfolio”” by actively promoting TPM services and solutions (and there was also a need to protect your customer’s technology assets/portfolio by extending the useful life of technology assets in a recession).

With the second half of 2020 coming into focus, we need to have a talk about your Managed Services Provider (MSP) business model. The original “”Payroll Protection Program”” funds that many MSPs received in the second quarter of 2020 are starting to run out and it’s time to talk about what’s next.

I’m suggesting we think about a well-established revenue generating opportunity known as Third Party Maintenance (TPM). TPM is on-going hardware support for technology equipment that acts as both an alternative and enhancement to Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) support.
