Welcome to the ChannelE2E podcast. Today's topic: How can MSPs make work a bit easer -- every day -- for technicians who use professional services automation (PSA) software tools like ConnectWise Manage and Datto Autotask PSA?

To answer that question, our guest is ServiceTree CEO Paul Azad.

ServiceTree develops a plugin for the ConnectWise and Autotask PSA offerings, and will soon introduce a plugin for Kaseya BMS. The plugin improves ticketing and management processes for MSP technicians, ServiceTree asserts.
