The acquisition, ScalePad’s second already this year, adds governance, risk, and compliance software to a platform that already includes asset management, backup monitoring, and operational analytics solutions.

The new feature is part of longer-term plans to turn a tool for deploying and managing Microsoft Azure, Azure Virtual Desktop, and Windows 365 into a holistic management platform for the entire Microsoft cloud, including Microsoft 365.

If you’re not behind bars when you see this, things could be worse. But things are about to get better in a hurry once you hear Matt, Rich, and guest host Henry Timm, of Phantom Technology Solutions, discuss two new enterprise-grade firewalls that Sophos says could be right for SMBs too, why Mac management is a profit-booster many MSPs ignore, and ChannelPro‘s Vendors on the Vanguard list for 2023.

The zero-trust security vendor’s allowlisting technology, which normally blocks any process not explicitly OKed in advance for use in client environments, now permits Pia’s managed services automation solution to interact with protected endpoints by default.

The deal is ScalePad’s latest step toward building a product family aimed at raising MSP productivity in four areas: automation, standardization, strengthening access to information, and increasing operation maturity.

Announced on the opening day of the hardware giant’s new fiscal year, the updates are designed to accelerate adoption of Dell’s APEX hardware-as-a-service offering and create new opportunities for partners to profit from end user ESG initiatives.

The new features include a new collateral design and customization system, a mobile app, tighter integration with ConnectWise PSA, and a new module that will let users place and receive calls through third-party VoIP solutions.

The second-generation product family arrived on the same day as a no-money-down purchasing option for Datto networking products and expanded global availability of the vendor’s SASE solution.

Called Pia aiDesk and first unveiled last year, the new system uses machine learning and natural language processing to help MSPs analyze, route, and resolve level 1 and 2 service tickets automatically.

In a year likely to be marked by recession for most businesses, IT businesses should see growth instead.
