New ‘Built-by-MSPs-for-MSPs’ Consortium Launched

The Managed Service Provider Consortium aims to provide members with access to a community of IT and security experts to help solve technical and business challenges through a customized, lead exchange platform.

The newly launched Managed Service Provider Consortium (MSPC) is a free-to-join program, built-by-MSPs-for-MSPs, where members will leverage the free MSP Consortium platform tool to help MSPs eliminate expensive licensing fees, improve business performance, and increase their revenues through a customized, lead exchange platform. The platform tool combines RMM, which remotely tracks network and computer health, and PSA all within one tool.†† †

The new MSP Consortium is an open and federated organization, being led by a Board of Directors with executives from Ciracom, Comodo, Compunite Computers Inc., Presage Solutions Inc., Raven Data Technologies, LazoTEK Computer Solutions, and TCG: The Computer Guys.

“A huge advantage of the MSP Consortium is that it has been designed by MSPs specifically for MSPs – giving members the ability to leverage a community of IT and security experts to help solve any technical or business challenges they are facing in building their business,” says Amy Rutt, MSPC Board President and CEO of Ciracom. “The ability to quickly and easily tap into the knowledge of your peers will give members unique insight, tools, and resources – all free of charge.”

MSPC operations will be guided by a board of directors and five committees – including Technology, Sales, Purchasing, Compliance, and Marketing committees. The MSPC Board of Directors will establish the direction and guidelines for the group. Initial board members include:††

  • MSPC Board President Amy Rutt, chief cloud fanatic Ciracom†††
  • MSPC Board Vice President Matt Johnson, CEO† of Raven Data Technologies
  • Board Member and Security Technology Sponsor Melih Abdulhayoglu, CEO of Comodo
  • Board Member, Steve Ferman, president of Compunite Computers Inc.††
  • Board Member, Jay Hamilton, president and CEO of Presage Solutions Inc.†††
  • Board Member, John Lazo, president of LazoTEK Computer Solutions
  • Board Member, Bill Yagiela, president of TCG: The Computer Guys

The MSP Consortium will also include regional chapters to offer members guidance and collaboration for improving business with MSPC-approved workflows.

Membership information and registration can be found at http://www.mspconsortium.com. Those interested in joining the MSP Consortium or for additional information can send an email to info@mspconsortium.com.
