Slide Takes BCDR Roadshow to MSPs

Slide is taking its business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) strategy directly to managed service providers with a new global roadshow spanning the U.S. and Europe. The sessions are designed as working meetups rather than product briefings, with a focus on how MSPs are managing backup and recovery across increasingly complex environments. The move builds on the company’s broader push to stay close to partner operations as it expands its presence in the channel.

That timing lines up with what many MSPs are dealing with right now. Hybrid infrastructure, fragmented tooling, and tighter recovery expectations have made backup less of a background function and more of an operational pressure point. Recovery time objectives are under closer scrutiny, and failures are harder to absorb. For MSPs, this shifts BCDR into something that directly affects customer trust, retention, and service differentiation.

Slide has been building toward this moment over the past year. The company recently raised $70 million to expand its platform, deepen integrations, and extend its footprint into the U.K. and broader EMEA region, signaling a focus on both product development and geographic scale. That investment is tied to how MSPs are evolving, with growing demand for backup platforms that integrate cleanly into PSA, RMM, and automated service workflows rather than operating as standalone tools.

The roadshow is a direct extension of that strategy. Each session combines discussion, product walkthroughs, and hands-on work where MSPs can test workflows using APIs and automation tools in real time. The goal is to move beyond passive learning and help partners work through how BCDR fits into their day-to-day operations. As MSPs are pushed to deliver faster recovery and more predictable outcomes, this kind of practical engagement is becoming part of how vendors stay relevant and embedded in partner environments.
