Erick and Rich discuss the potential merits of buying remote access software from a security vendor, why expressing gratitude to employees and customers is a win-win, and the many, many holidays besides Star Wars Day celebrated this week.

Here’s a thought. Rename the OS drive on your PC the Q drive. Makes about as much sense as the letter you probably use now. Next, tune into this week’s jam-packed episode, in which Matt, Rich, and guest host Paul Nebb, of Titan Technologies, discuss Eaton’s move into peripherals, Datto’s new BDR appliances and cloud continuity solution, and a new managed SD-WAN offering from Fortinet, Ingram Micro, and Masergy.

Erick and Rich discuss a managed SD-WAN solution that MSPs and managed service newcomers should look into, explore how and why to raise your rates due to inflation, and pity the fool who now holds the world record for balancing a chainsaw on your chin.

Ransomware just struck your client. Our suggestion? Do NOT place your first call to Ghostbusters. To find out who you should call, listen to this week’s episode, in which Matt, Rich, and guest host Ben Pearce, of ACP Technologies, discuss the news from the 2022 Robin Robins IT Sales and Marketing Boot Camp event, the new incident response service from ConnectWise, and the secrets to generating big financial results with small managed services teams.

Erick and Rich discuss how small MSPs can generate big financial results, explain why you need to know your company’s market value even if you’re not ready to sell it, and marvel at the Dubliner who lodged 34 complaints about airport noise a day for a year.

Riddle me this, channel pros. What do you get when you combine a Kaseya with a Datto? Still don’t have it? Join the pack that includes Matt, Rich, and returning guest host Josh Weiss, of LA Creative Technologies. They have some details to share via Rich’s exclusive conversation with Kaseya CEO Fred Voccola, however, not to mention additional thoughts on Thoma Bravo selling Barracuda Networks to KKR and Cisco offering a new partner specialization in environmental sustainability.

Erick and Rich share hot takes on Kaseya’s earth-shaking acquisition of Datto, discuss the smart way to deal with FUD when change comes to the vendor landscape, and greet some unexpected visitors, live and on the air!

Erick and Rich ask why channel pros aren’t talking about blockchain more, urge you to stop giving away services out of the kindness of your heart, and marvel at the people in Dallas who scanned a random QR code in the sky recently and got Rickrolled.

You’ve got to pity those poor accountants. Bad enough they’ve got all those tax returns to complete this time of year. Now they’re getting the cold shoulder from channel pros too.

Let’s face it, it’s a pretty tough gig today for MSPs with growth performance under the spotlight. While the overall managed service market is growing, and many MSPs secured new business during the pandemic as they helped companies safely digitize, the market is also attracting new entrants. Many of whom have hyper-relevant, innovative, turnkey solutions and are crowding out established players.
