Where the time goes at MSPs and IT firms

Proof

Already running at another firm

A managed IT provider ran client hardware from a spreadsheet nobody trusted. Every device is now a checked record, and a single report shows what’s aging out, due or under warranty across every client.

Your options

MSP automation: 3 ways to do it

  • Option 1

    Buy software

    Best whenYour PSA or RMM has the automation and only needs configuring.

  • Option 2

    Build it in-house

    Best whenA technician can script it and has time to maintain it.

  • Where we fit

    Bring in a partner

    Best whenNobody can own it, or it spans the PSA, RMM, documentation and billing.

Systems worth looking at first

ConnectWise, Datto Autotask, HaloPSA and NinjaOne run tickets and devices, and IT Glue or Hudu hold documentation. Most have automation built in.

What to settle before you start

Access. You hold the keys to your clients’ systems, so anything automated has to be tightly scoped and logged.

Questions from MSPs and IT firms

Can we offer this to our own clients?

Yes. Through our partner program you can refer, co-deliver or white label it, and the client stays yours.

Why not build it ourselves?

You may be able to. The question is who maintains it a year from now.

Will it work with our PSA?

The major platforms share their records, so usually yes.

How is client access protected?

It gets the narrowest access the work needs, and every action is logged.

Do you only work with IT firms?

No. The same work shows up in every industry.
