IT and Business Insights for SMB Solution Providers
Partners now have an easy way to back up their customers’ data on endpoints and in the Office 365 suite.
This sponsored product profile explains how the latest offering in VIPRE's portfolio enables MSPs to provide advanced threat protection to their SMB customers.
Unlike BDR products, CloudOak’s Plan4Continuity lets MSPs earn recurring revenue from helping clients define and perform all of the steps needed to keep people safe and systems operational after a fire, tornado, or security breach.
Much requested by users, the new feature lets technicians control endpoints and conduct support sessions through the same mobile software they already use to perform other remote management tasks.
The new PowerOne platform is designed to make deploying and maintaining the on-premises portion of a hybrid cloud environment simpler by automating complex functions like deployment, provisioning, and ongoing operations.
MSPs say their cannabis industry customers are (surprise!) the nicest and most easygoing. Good thing, because the vertical itself is among the more challenging.
