Topic 1, Moderated by Amy Katz: Selling Solutions vs. Selling Products. Tips and Tricks for MSPs
Participants:
Dan Wilson, CEO, Waypoint Solutions Group
Tommy Vaughan, President, Central Technology Solutions
Joerg Laves, Managing Consultant, IT Secure
Focus: Why are some MSPs more successful than others? Perhaps it’s because they understand the value of selling solutions, not products, to their customers. In this session you’ll hear from MSPs who have had serious success consulting with their customers and selling a full suite of services instead of one quick fix.
Topic 2, Moderated by Me: Emerging MSP Opportunities in IoT, DevOps, Security & Public Cloud Workloads
Participants:
Bruce Nelson, president, Vertical Solutions
Glenn Grant, CEO, G2 Tech Group
Charles Love, Director of Service Delivery, Untangles Solutions
Brian Coffey, Channel Account Manager, Webroot
Focus: Our panel of experts will explore emerging recurring revenue opportunities. We'll dive into consumer and industrial IoT (Internet of Things) trends, DevOps opportunities, and new ways to monetize public cloud workloads -- while safeguarding data in transit and at rest. This session will include open microphones for attendees to pose their most pressing questions.
