N-Able's MSP "StartUP" Gives Resellers a Risk-Free, Introduction to Managed Services - Helps Partners Build a Successful Business Model

Posted on: Monday, 12 September 2005, 09:00 CDT

OTTAWA, Sept. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- N-able Technologies(R), the No. 1 provider of IT management software and business transformation services for resellers servicing small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), today announced MSP StartUP Program, an intense 30-day quick-start program for VARs and system integrators interested in becoming successful managed service providers (MSPs). Available in the U.S. and Canada, the new MSP program is designed to accelerate and ease the transition from everyday reseller to managed service provider.

In addition to proven business-transformation resources including the industry leader's proprietary "Blueprint for Success" executive summary, MSP StartUP participants will receive a free 30-day trial of N-able's award- winning MonITor Online network availability and performance monitoring solution(x). An N-able sales consultant will work closely with the reseller to segment, identify and conduct joint sales calls to sign up lead customers.

"Our MSP StartUP program is a virtually risk-free means for channel partners to evaluate and ultimately adopt the MSP model," said Mark Scott, CEO, N-able Technologies. "By test-driving the MSP business model and working directly with our sales experts to sign-up new customers, VARs can realize first-hand the profits and incremental revenues managed services will bring to their company. For us there is no better way to truly demonstrate the value of managed services and the benefits gained by teaming with N-able."

Built on the company's three points of differentiation - product, process and people - N-able's MSP StartUP Program helps VARs and system integrators jump start the profit-shift to MSP and overcome the issues and perceived risks many have toward managed services.

"We were cautious about investing in managed services given the upfront cost of the technology, services, and the commitment to change our existing business model," said Frank Murry, Director of Sales and Marketing for Computech Business Solutions. "N-able's customer care and support quickly opened our eyes and gave us the confidence, resources and support necessary to make the investment and become an MSP. Today, we're making money with managed services and it's one of the most profitable and valued services we offer to customers."

N-able's MSP StartUP Program is open to VARs and system integrators who service the SMB and are committed to moving to managed services. Registration is available online at http://www.n-able.com/startUP or by calling 1-877-655-4689.
