Hungry for IT insights? Good, because Matt, Rich, and guest host Ro Kolakowski, founder of 6th Street Consulting, have a heaping helping for you on this episode, spanning from D&H’s new esports and gaming business unit to Intel’s outlook on the year ahead, BitTitan’s emerging “data synchronization as a service” plans, and the characteristics that make great MSPs great, according to Service Leadership’s Paul Dippell.

Erick and Rich are intrigued by BitTitan’s “data synchronization-as-a-service” strategy, certain you should do quarterly business reviews internally as well as with customers, and amused by the guy now walking from LA to San Francisco in a bear costume.

Actually, SCSI is an interface. Not sure who this bear is. Neither are Matt, Rich, and returning guest host Dave Seibert of managed service provider IT Innovators and the SMB TechFest event series. They do, however, have plenty to say about the change of channel chief at Microsoft, the latest firewalls from Sophos, the pending SYNNEX/Tech Data merger, and work-from-home security stacks.

Erick and Rich discuss the strategic importance of the latest firewall from Sophos, the strategic wisdom for channel pros of paying attention to customer experience, and the strategic genius of Natty Light’s new alcoholic popsicle.

Proof of life! Matt’s back after a three-week absence, but Rich is apparently being held for ransom. That’s how it looks on video towards the end of the show, anyway. Before then, he, Matt, and guest host Amy Babinchak of Harbor Computer Services and Third Tier discuss Microsoft’s new channel chief, Datto’s new commerce solution, the challenges of virtual sales calls, and the future of healthcare IT.

Erick and Rich ponder whether SMBs are being too easy on their security vendors, explain why now’s the time to revise your COVID safety protocols, and shudder at the slithery surprise two Australian grocery shoppers found in their lettuce.

In this episode, our virtually roving reporter talks cyber-insurance and marketing with Inskyber and Marketopia.

This week, Erick and Rich discuss Datto’s new quoting and procurement solution, building client phase sign-offs into your project plans, and what happens when a tiger mom gets her hands on deepfake technology.

Dig into a second helping of on-the-spot interviews from the latest Channel Strong road tour of America, this time with channel pro attendees of those events.

Back on the road again, if only briefly, ChannelPro’s Joel Zaidspiner checks in with Acronis, BVoIP, Compliancy Group, Nerdio, Pax8, RocketCyber, and Snom about their latest road trip across America.
