IT and Business Insights for SMB Solution Providers
Results from our latest reader survey suggest that 2020, while hard, could have been far worse, and that 2021, while uncertain, looks way more promising.
Successful DEI initiatives are driven from the top down and are meaningful to all workers.
MSPs of all sizes that want to work smarter and grow profits need to look beyond ticketing systems and adopt a multifunction tool that provides business insight.
The combined companies will offer backup, disaster recovery, and archiving solutions for physical, virtual, on-premises, and cloud-based workloads at multiple scales and price points to everything from SMBs to Fortune 50 enterprises.
The deal adds outsourced security services to a portfolio that already included solutions for identity and access management, dark web monitoring, network assessment, compliance management, BDR, and security awareness training.
Meant to help IT providers with limited signage experience successfully design and deploy video wall solutions, the new offerings can be coupled with professional services from D&H in areas like pre-sales support, quoting, and onsite installation.
