The IT management software vendor also integrated the recently introduced product, which automatically discovers and backs up documents and other files on workstations, with its cloud-based RMM solution and added support for larger files.

At its IT Nation conference today, CEO Arnie Bellini (pictured) showcased ConnectWise’s new Unite portal and forthcoming Developer Kit as key elements of a larger plan to provide one platform for managing every solution an MSP offers.

By the end of 2018, the company told conference-goers today, ConnectWise Automate will have an entirely Web-based interface. A new tool for supporting devices that conventional remote access solutions can’t connect with, meanwhile, will debut in Q2.

Developed in direct collaboration with ConnectWise, the new offering supplements the outsourced help desk and NOC services IT By Design has been delivering for ConnectWise since last year, and precedes a forthcoming outsourced security operations center.

The network security vendor’s firewalls can now open, close, and reopen tickets in Autotask’s PSA solution automatically. The new Firebox devices, meanwhile, offer small and home office users significant security inspection performance improvements.

The acquisition brings new solutions expertise and partnerships in hot markets to Ingram at a time of declining demand for hardware and packaged software products.

New functionality available now and arriving early next year will consolidate multiple, related tickets involving the same device, allow administrators to remote into endpoints from inside a ticket with a single click, and more.

The new edition of ELO’s entry-level content management system includes OCR support, backup functionality, and scenario-specific document repository templates. The customized solution service lets partners outsource application development to ELO programmers.

The new offerings give the vendor’s MSP partners visibility into endpoint status and self-serve access to sales, marketing, and training resources for the first time, according to CEO Jay Ryerse (pictured).

Provided at no cost, the new functionality enables MSPs to patch over 100 third-party applications widely used by SMBs centrally and automatically.
