ALLENTOWN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--independenceIT® (iIT), the software company exclusively focused on driving recurring revenue for channel partners, today announced a new technology and business enablement alliance with N-able Technologies, the global leader in remote monitoring and management (RMM) and service automation software.
Under the new alliance, iIT and N-able will collaborate to educate and train N-able’s MSP partners on how to establish a true fixed fee managed services practice that addresses hybrid IT environments and generates greater, more profitable recurring revenue streams.
“Cloud-based technologies are growing exponentially and challenging MSPs to adapt their IT services delivery model to embrace cloud services and more advanced solutions including mobile and virtualized IT solutions,” said JP Jauvin, President and COO, N-able Technologies. “By working together with iIT, we are formally extending our business acumen and partner development services to include best practices around cloud services marketing, sales, deployment and management.”
To further accelerate these efforts, iIT’s nPanel™ and Cloud Workspace™ Suite will soon be integrated with N-able’s N-central platform and easily managed by N-able’s Automation Manager IT delivery solution. The upcoming integration will allow MSPs to manage several products from a familiar, single, easy-to-use interface, while at the same time automating price management, quote creation, ordering and provisioning. The integration also provides increased flexibility for MSPs looking to help their customers make the transition to the cloud.
“The market and demand for cloud services has radically expanded these past few years,” said Michael Drake, CEO of masterIT. “The only way to keep up with demand and balance ongoing management requirements is with collaborative tools such as those from iIT and N-able. These two companies make it possible for us to proactively and efficiently meet our clients’ every need – including cloud-based technologies and services – while enabling us to grow as a company.”
“Industry analyst firm Gartner has said repeatedly that the current IT services model is changing. In fact, they state that IaaS (infrastructure as a service) and BPaaS (business process as a service) will grow 13.1 percent and 47.3 percent in 2013,” said Jim Lippie, EVP, business development, iIT. “With that in mind, it is easy to see how important it is for MSPs to quickly establish new recurring revenue streams based around providing cloud services. Our mission is to provide the expertise and solutions that help MSPs grow their recurring revenue and profits during a disruptive time in the market.”
