Don’t worry. If you haven’t collected enough box tops to get the coveted ChannelPro Weekly secret decoder ring, you’ll still enjoy this week’s episode, in which Matt and Rich are joined by returning guest host Corey Kirkendoll, of 5K Technical Services. The three of them discuss LogMeIn becoming GoTo and making a push into the channel, Unitrends launching its first small office BDR appliances, and the secrets to picking an MSSP.

Erick and Rich are intrigued by LogMeIn’s corporate makeover as GoTo, eager for you to freshen up your marketing materials for the age of hybrid work, and impressed by the chicken who somehow snuck into a high-security zone at the Pentagon.

Ready to automate and accelerate as-a-service solutions? Well then, gentlemen (and ladies), you know what to do. So does Ingram Micro, as Matt and Rich discuss with co-host Seana Fippin, of MSP Red Box Business Solutions, who also chimes in on the new platform and RMM solution ConnectWise introduced this week, OpenText buying Zix, and how to hold effective virtual meetings at a hybrid workplace.

Erick and Rich discuss the new platform and RMM solution from ConnectWise, the wisdom of identifying your worst customers now so you can fire them come January, and the latest oddball limited edition holiday offers from America’s fast-food restaurants.

Erick and Rich discuss Atera’s new AI-powered RMM automation feature, why you should ask vendors and distributors regularly about new resources for helping you grow, and a local election in Maine set to be decided by drawing straws.

How much money are you making on wiffy these days? I mean, I assume you’re in the wiffy market. It’s huge! Take it from Matt, Rich, and this week’s guest host, Paco Lebron, of MSP ProdigyTeks and the MSP Unplugged podcast.

MIAMI — November 3, 2021 — Addigy, the only cloud-based, multi-tenant Apple device management software that makes it easy for managed service providers (MSPs) and corporate IT teams to monitor and manage Mac, iPad, and iPhone devices from a single location, has promoted Jason Samples to the newly created role of chief revenue officer. 

Feel free to tackle only simple challenges, channel pros. Just don’t expect to make much at it. Take it from this week’s guest host, podcaster and industry analyst Dave Sobel, it’s the hard stuff that produces big money. Dave, Matt, and Rich have plenty to say about that topic, as well as the news from Acronis’s CyberFit Summit, and Dave has a few thoughts to share about Kaseya’s efforts to harden its software against future breaches too.

Everyone else is working from home these days. Why not The King? You know who’s not working from home this week? Rich Freeman. He’s in Las Vegas for Kaseya’s ConnectIT conference and has plenty of news from Kaseya to share. He and Matt also discuss HP’s big new collaboration and conferencing portfolio as well as the challenges and pleasures of running a tech business with your spouse.

Side by side for the first time since COVID, Erick and Rich discuss Kaseya’s take on its RMM breach, trueing up your managed services clients, and a woman who went to sleep alone and woke up next to a meteorite.
