In this episode, recorded live at IT Nation Connect 22, Richard speaks to experts from three different companies offering some of the best MSP tools available on the market.
Ben Spector and Ted Roller explain why Zomentum is different to other quoting tools, how it helps MSPs with turning prospects into sales, and how it fits in with the vendor eco-structure.
Richard also speaks to Joe Alapat and Matt Miller of Liongard, who talk about the type of MSPs who use the tool, how it fits into their tech stack, its integration strategy and how it solves MSP pain points.
James Steel of Linode explains why so many business owners are considering a move to alternative cloud solutions. He tells Richard the typical customers they have at Linode, and how the recent acquisition of the company by Akamai will enable them to support more MSPs.
