Fear not, channel pros. Matt and Rich will protect you from nosey little talking paper clip icons. And with help from returning guest host Angel Rojas, of DataCorps Technology Solutions, they’ll also discuss Kaseya closing its acquisition of Datto, the new, possibly breakthrough RMM solution Kaseya says it has coming later this year, and the new AI-powered recommendation engine Kaseya just launched that they swear isn’t Clippy.

Join Erick and Rich as they discuss the potentially game-changing RMM system Kaseya has coming, how to handle a sales prospect who says “we’ve got a guy,” and just how big the biggest freshwater fish ever caught turns out to be.

Remember your first Walkman? No?

Erick and Rich discuss Cisco’s big MSP recruiting drive, why you should have an offboarding process for clients that’s as good as your onboarding process, and whether or not being removed from a vat of chocolate you’re swimming in is really being “rescued”.

Put ‘er there, pal! Or come to think of it, maybe don’t per ‘er there just yet. While we think that through, we invite you to join Matt, Rich, and returning guest host Michael Goldstein, of LAN Infotech, as they discuss the new threat intelligence portal from Kaspersky, former Microsoft channel chief Rodney Clark’s new gig, the current state of play in the hardware market, and whether or not cloud vendors selling direct to end users is a threat to channel pros.

Are cloud vendors who sell direct a threat to channel pros? Ingram Micro doesn’t think so, and neither do Erick and Rich, who also discuss the possibility that M&A valuations for MSPs have peaked and that Elvis-themed Las Vegas wedding chapels are doomed.
