[84] How MSPs are Partnering with Cisco for Business Success

In this episode, Richard is joined by Marc Inderhees, As a Service Lead, and Sayuri Sato, EMEA Managed Service Go to Market and Strategy Leader in the Partner Managed Team at Cisco, a global software and cloud solutions company.

They discuss how Cisco have evolved over the last 15 years to offer a wider range of solutions and to support MSPs in the SMB space, how they view the MSP space and why collaboration is important. 

They also explore some of Cisco’s most popular solutions – the cloud-based full stack monitoring tool Meraki, Umbrella DNS and the Duo MFA. Marc also explains how Cisco’s threat intelligence tool is second only to that used by the US government, and Sayuri suggests MSPs reach out to distributors as well as vendors.

About the Podcast

TubbTalk: The Podcast for Managed Service Providers
Putting Managed Service Providers back in control!
Richard Tubb has been a leader and keynote speaker in the MSP community for the last two decades. At the helm of media company and MSP advisory business Tubblog, Richard loves to showcase tech companies disrupting the industry, as well as shining a light on new tools you might not be aware of.

His long-running and successful interview-style show, TubbTalk, features fireside style chats with the CEOs and CTOs of these businesses, to dig deep into how they got started in the industry, what inspired them to start something new and what their advice would be to anyone who wants to do the same.

But it's not all tech focused! As a former MSP owner himself, Richard knows that there are many facets to being a business owner, which is why his guests reflect that too.

Previous topics include mental health, sales, marketing, business growth, productivity, customer service and more. Wondering why you should listen? Well, as one fan put it: "It's like eavesdropping on a conversation between two friends, who are sharing their knowledge and wisdom with each other. You learn while you're being entertained."
