Are you looking to drive growth in your business, but feel hesitant to invest in the necessary resources to get going? Perhaps the global economic outlook is holding you back from taking the risk to reach for success... Instant scalability - and higher profits - don't have to require you to beef up your staffing levels so you can take on more clients. Instead, outsource your helpdesk and

The goal of many IT solutions providers is to employ multiple technicians who are constantly busy working on clients' tickets and projects. But with multiple techs comes a common problem facing IT business managers: techs who don't consistently enter tickets, notes, and time entries. Not only are they wasting time at the end of the week trying to recall work completed to fill in their

To increase revenue and profitability in your IT business, you can upsell clients on new offerings that make their technology faster, easier, and safer. One option is to deploy a new cloud services solution, but without a connection to your other business you end up with another silo of contact and billing information to manage. Enter Cloud Integration Services, a brand-new connector

It would be a real nightmare for an IT business owner to have to turn away new business - all because of a lack of enough experienced staff to appropriately handle the increased workload. To remain competitive in the marketplace, you need to be ready to close new business opportunities at any time. But managing your own business means you're tasked with an ever-growing list of to-dos, and

As a technology solutions provider, your clients expect you to stay prepared for the unexpected.

It was pretty easy to deliver break/fix services. You received a call from a distressed client and went to work. As your business matured, you added professional services into the mix, but that was not enough. As managed services arrived on the scene, you had to figure out where those fit in too. And just when you had that down, along comes cloud services to further complicate the service

By: Len DiCostanzo, SVP and Dean of Autotask Academy Even while traveling through sunny Southern California this month, I couldn’t help but notice the noise from the cloud grow louder. The scramble for IT service providers to understand what the cloud is, teach what the cloud is and bring cloud offerings to market is in full swing. Perhaps most interesting is how the cloud hype has attracted all

By: Len DiCostanzo, SVP and Dean of Autotask Academy There is some truth to generalizations made by the solution provider community that product sales margins are on a declining trend and that it’s too hard to sell product. But, I argue if you identify and drive out the hidden costs in the product sales process, you’ll notice an upward trend of your profitability. In addition, you will recognize

By: Len DiCostanzo, SVP and Dean of Autotask Academy When VARs, MSPs and IT solution providers evolve their businesses to include a managed services practice, the goal is to deliver recurring services to ensure recurring revenue and recurring profit. While it’s not so easy as to convert to this model overnight, start by identifying an entry point to deliver managed services to a new or existing

By: Len DiCostanzo, SVP and Dean of Autotask Academy If you’ve instituted surveys as part of your customer satisfaction program, the next step is to understand the how and why of maximizing the data you have collected from your customers. That’s where benchmarking comes in. For the IT services industry, surveys give you an opportunity to measure your customer satisfaction levels and a variety

By: Bob Godgart, Founder, Chairman, and Chief Visionary Officer In a previous article, I talked about the 10 benefits of using surveys in your service provider business. But if you still feel surveys are a “nice to have” rather than a “need to do” (despite knowing how surveys increase customer retention, improve product and service delivery and create competitive advantage), let me convince you

By: Len DiCostanzo, SVP and Dean of Autotask Academy Becoming a Managed Service Provider (MSP) has been a hot topic for several years now; so much so that I heard a comment at a recent conference that managed services is now a commodity offering. Everybody is doing it, and whoever is jumping in now is way too late. My opinion? Not so fast! Here’s why. Simply becoming an MSP is not the end game

By: Bob Godgart, Chief Visionary Officer Fortunately, today's new IT business management software tools promise a variety of ways to optimize the profitability in your managed services business. They furnish a range of features and functions for handling projects and service contracts that let MSPs more easily define and measure key metrics and get a much clearer picture of their profitability.

By: Len DiCostanzo, SVP and Dean of Autotask Academy I am just back from a few weeks on the road presenting at several partner events.

By: Bob Godgart, Founder, Chairman, and Chief Visionary Officer The time-tested formula for MSPs when creating service contracts is to set fixed monthly fees to ensure regular recurring revenue. But that may not be the most profitable strategy, especially if you are not incorporating key business terms and conditions to clearly define the work scope, and then managing to those deliverables.

By: Len DiCostanzo, SVP and Dean of Autotask Academy You may have started your IT company as an IT consultant, selling professional or technical services by the hour. Typically, you’ll let your clients buy products from another source, maybe even a source you recommend, because you feel that it’s just too hard to make money with all the competition and small margins. Then you realize the

By: Bob Godgart, Founder, Chairman, and Chief Visionary Officer I’m always impressed when the IT service providers I work with take the time to ask me how things are going. Consumer-oriented companies figured this out a while ago. They know that regular customer satisfaction check-ins will help to maximize customer retention, and help them figure out how to best position themselves to win new

By: Len DiCostanzo, SVP and Dean of Autotask Academy It's All About Expectations At the heart of almost every business relationship are expectations... expectations that have to be set, managed and met or exceeded.

By: Bob Godgart, Founder, Chairman, and Chief Visionary Officer For years the prevailing wisdom has been for IT solution providers to focus less on moving products, and more toward a business model built primarily on services delivery. The conventional thinking was that product sales involve too much work for too little margin, while services allow for more predictable and stable recurring

By: Bob Godgart, Founder, Chairman, and Chief Visionary Officer Like it or not, products are an integral (and important) part of any IT Service business.

By: Bob Godgart, Founder, Chairman, and Chief Visionary Officer The word "efficiency" was born out of the manufacturing age as a concept for increasing the output of factories. In its simplest form, the idea is to get more coming out of the factory from the components and raw materials you bring in. This is done by optimizing the manufacturing process, and often times bringing in new tools to
