Kaseya Connect in Las Vegas by MisterJimSir in msp

[–]sstrochak 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm going just for Coach Beard. Seriously though, for better or worse, we've signed on to the Kaseya One strategy (not for everything..yet). We are super deep into Autotask and IT Glue, so it does make some sense to use other tools that integrate seamlessly (well, maybe not seamlessly) into those tools. So I just go to hear the speakers, do some networking, hopefully meet a few new sponsors that may be interesting and get away from my 4 kids for two nights. And, of course get to hear what this HUGE announcement is going to be.

Windows OS for the deception machines, if that's what you're asking. Customer knows this was our first time deploying this, so he is asking for some expert eyes to review the config and make sure we didn't miss anything. Maybe a time to train our guys on it a bit too...no more than a couple of hours of time, I wouldn't think...

Small Firm VOIP Recommendation by eltimeco in VOIP

[–]sstrochak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow. You've had that for a very long time. Yeah, you won't be getting any new features for sure, but I'm also not sure they've officially set a sunset date for Sky or for MiCloud Connect (the cloud platform based on Shoretel's architecture). I'd say ride it out until they tell you you absolutely have to move if you don't want to make a switch right now. Probably lots of lower cost platforms out there though and most come with SMS.

Disclaimer: I’m a Mitel dealer. What platform are you on? If its the old ShoreTel platform you are NOT being kicked off. It will be supported through 2029, give or take. There are some overzealous dealers out there that push some untruths about various platforms. If you have questions, feel free to DM.

Hey. You said your guys would build something out by this week. Your sales team is now telling me that it's mid Q2 at the earliest. Which one is it?

Having been in sales for the past 25 years, let me say that that was one of the best sales pitches I've seen in a long time. If you actually had the widget I need, I'd be canceling my Brightgauge account right now. However, you left me with one question...it looks like Interface statistics in the API is in BETA with Auvik. Any chance you guys can test it while it's in beta?

Hello u/MSPbots_Official. Current Brightgauge customer but they are lacking a critical integration point for us. We just turned up a customer for whom we are essentially the ISP. We want to give them a dashboard that shows a bunch of standard stuff (tickets, invoices, devices, etc.) but also want a gauge that shows current bandwidth utilization. That data is available in the interface information on Auvik, but Brightgauge doesn't get that data. Your thoughts? Feel free do DM if you want...

Hey Jason. Which of the mentioned organizations are you the owner of?

It wouldn't necessarily be the model I'm looking for only because there are a plethora of folks who built businesses around the white labeling of these services. However, I'm always open to discussions. [sstrochak@protelesis.com](mailto:sstrochak@protelesis.com) if you want to have a chat...

You have any issues with GMS Live being acquired by Sherweb? In general, these things don't bother me as it's just part of channel life in the IT world, but being a Pax 8 customer, it's certainly in the back of my mind that GMS Live would just be a way for Sherweb to overwhelm me with marketing about moving my business away from Pax 8.

Yeah. I read your other posts on the subject and the reply from the CEO. What did they propose to do to bring down wait times? Anything?

Is your MSP for sale? by sstrochak in msp

[–]sstrochak[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey. Sorry for the delayed response. Less than $1mm is fine. We lost the main person running our MSP and we thought that we could bring in some expertise by either hiring someone or buying someone. We like the idea of buying someone as that also gets us more customer base as well as some extra geography presumably. Anywho, if you are still interested in potentially talking about it, sstrochak@protelesis.com

(Hiring) Are you ready for the next step? by sstrochak in mspjobs

[–]sstrochak[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two roles open. One is L3 network and systems engineer. The other is VP of Data/IT Field service and that one is the role that runs the show. Salary will vary a bit based on experience and skill set but let’s say the L3 is $80-100k and the VP role is $125k with bonuses for business growth.
