Thanks to Managed Services Journal and Jay McCall for their coverage of our Toronto ASCII Edge event! #ASCIIEDGE #ITCommunity #MSP #Since1984
ASCII EDGE Toronto: Key Takeaways for MSPs The #ASCIIEDGE conference took place last week in Toronto, living up to its motto of “curating an agenda that caters specifically to the needs and aspirations of growing MSPs.” The two-day event featured dozens of partner education sessions on topics such as AI’s impact on MSPs, cybersecurity trends, strategies for growth and actionable insights on operational maturity and business process automation from industry experts. Here are some standout quotes and takeaways: “33% of cyber insurance claims are getting denied because claims are rising, and insurance providers are auditing end users’ environments and finding areas where they’re out of compliance with the terms of their policies. For example, they could find that a few users had MFA disabled on one of their work devices.” -Nick Wolf, Director of Partner Acquisitions, Cork “Leadership does not require suffering—it is a privilege. Instead of focusing on your lack of resources and ‘if only’ scenarios, be thankful for the abundance of opportunities you have.” -Michael Crean, SVP of Managed Security Services at SonicWALL “Time is what you give yourself with AI. With AI, your level 1 techs can do a job that used to take 3 hours in 10 minutes—and they can more quickly become level 3 techs. You need to get Copilot and start using it.” -Jermaine Clark, Copilot Subject Matter Expert at Sherweb “Before automating a work task, you must identify the process.” -Dawn Sizer, CEO of 3rd Element Consulting “Cyber compliance is going to be bigger than managed services was to break-fix.” -CyberGuard360 “AI is going to drive a ton of prevention and protection compliance opportunities.” -Ted Roller, Channel Chief at Cloudradial “The #1 reason MSPs struggle to sell AI is because they fail to establish the risk [of using free AI services like ChatGPT].” -Mitchell Wengreniuk, Channel Sales Manager at ITCloud “Where there’s complexity, there’s margin.” -Jason Prashad, Director of Digital Operations – GTM, Ingram Micro “Projects are cannibalizing your profits.” “Ban the word ‘busy’ from your vocabulary. It’s a crutch that just means you’re prioritizing something else.” “Don’t buy any capital equipment until the client has paid you. You’re not a bank.” -Todd Kane, President of Evolved Management Consulting “Do you want a 501% ROI? Try MDF.” -Miles Walker, Channel Development Manager at Kaseya “QBRs that focus on the past are a waste of time. Your customers are focusing on the future; you should be, too.” -Ted Roller, Channel Chief at Cloudradial See the full article here: https://lnkd.in/ejYUZUu2
