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.

Think Halloween is the only time you can get a fun-sized Snicker-nugget? At ChannelPro you can get them year round, and there’s plenty for everyone with Rich out on vacation. That leaves Matt and guest host Erick Simpson to discuss Bitdefender’s new consumption-priced MDR service for MSPs, the latest edition of NinjaOne’s software suite, how to help SMBs leverage IT to drive growth, and some great tips on optimizing document migrations.

Rich is on vacation, but he and Erick still have a pre-recorded episode for you about strategies for getting peak value from vendor relationships and a strange but true story about their recent travels.

Don’t let those end users stay up past their bedtime, channel pros, and help yourself to any snacks in the cupboard. In the meantime, why not listen in as Matt, Rich, and guest host Frank Bravata, of MSP Cyber Brigade, discuss the news from Ingram Micro’s latest Cloud Summit, channel chief Rodney Clark departing Microsoft, and ChannelPro’s 2022 Vendors on the Vanguard list?

Side by side once more, Erick and Rich discuss Ingram Micro’s new “digital twin,” how and why to get MDF, and a brilliant invention from Johns Hopkins University that prevents burritos from unrolling.

Joel Zaidspiner takes advantage of a brief stop back home between road trips to learn about one of the newest names in password management software for MSPs.

Combine two flavors of ice cream in one cone, and you get a delicious treat. Combine two RMM systems into one and you get…well, that depends, doesn’t it?

While partners at this week’s TD SYNNEX conference discuss booming IT market conditions, Erick and Rich discuss how to prepare for the inevitable slowdown to come, along with recent evidence that artificial intelligence isn’t all that intelligent yet.

Cybersecurity’s tough, but is anything more puzzling than seafood? No really, think about it. Or better yet, don’t think about it and listen to this special edition of ChannelPro Weekly sponsored by Datto instead. Matt and Rich are joined by Datto partner Brian Weiss, of ITECH Solutions, to discuss Pax8 adding AWS to its line card, Dell’s surprisingly strong PC sales two years into the work-from-home era, and the secrets to influencing vendor roadmaps.
