Matt and Rich have a fever, channel pros, and the only prescription is this episode. Joined by MSP, author, and improv comic Bob Coppedge, of Simplex-IT, your hosts discuss co-managed IT, Dell’s attempt to “democratize” artificial intelligence, a new managed services suite from Pulseway inspired by the coronavirus pandemic work-from-home phenomenon, and the 20th birthday of ConnectWise’s IT Nation Evolve organization, formerly known as HTG Peer Groups.

Introduced in response to spiking demand for remote management capabilities among businesses with work-from-home employees, the new package offers a subset of relevant features from Pulseway’s core managed services suite at a lower price.

90-day loan flooring and no-cost subscriptions to remote management tools are key parts of a wider effort by the power quality vendor to help partners conserve cash and support customers despite distancing laws, according to channel exec Curtiz Gangi (pictured).

Channel pros’ skills in data management, security, and managed services dovetail nicely with this emerging market.

Hips don’t lie, folks. Neither do Matt, Rich, or their guest host this week, MSP extraordinaire and former IT Glue exec Luis Giraldo of Ook Enterprises. Listen in as they discuss Tin Can, Luis’s interesting new cooperative services venture, plus Dell’s latest commercial laptops, stats about ransomware, and ChannelPro‘s 2020 Vendors on the Vanguard list.

The new and forthcoming enhancements are designed to help MSPs increase productivity and profitability by spending less time switching between systems, according to Kaseya exec Mike Puglia (pictured).

This U.S.-based systems builder specializes in small business compute solutions delivered through local IT providers.

Only you can prevent breaches. Just ask the security marmoset! Don’t know who he is? You will after spending a little time with Matt, Rich, and guest host Karl Bickmore, of managed service provider Snap Tech IT. You’ll also hear their thoughts about the latest consumer PCs from Dell, Datto’s plan for coping with coronavirus, and the giant opportunity in managed security.

The new features, which include the ability to place BVoIP calls from directly inside ConnectWise Manage and HubSpot, are the latest in an ongoing wave of updates planned for this year.

Pivoting in response to the coronavirus pandemic, ChannelPro transformed the second of five planned regional events to a live, online forum aimed at helping MSPs and IT solution providers build an action plan for surviving—and thriving—in these uncertain times.
