NWN Corporation has acquired InterVision Systems, a managed services provider known for its innovative IT solutions and a strong partnership with Amazon Web Services. This strategic acquisition aims to enhance NWN's offerings in customer experience, cybersecurity, and intelligent infrastructure, solidifying its position in the North American technology market. With the addition of 1,600 new accounts and approximately $470 million in sales, NWN is set to significantly improve its market presence and accelerate the digital transformation journeys of its clients. CEO Jim Sullivan emphasized that this move will allow NWN to provide a comprehensive suite of AI-managed services, positioning the company as a leader in the emerging AI-native platform MSP sector.Empath, a training and education platform for managed service providers, has successfully raised $2 million in funding backed entirely by industry insiders. This initiative aims to deepen community engagement and give MSPs a stake in the platform's growth. Co-founder Wes Spencer highlighted the importance of having funding from within the MSP ecosystem, fostering loyalty and advocacy among investors who are also customers. While the funding model is innovative, concerns remain regarding its scalability and governance, particularly as future funding rounds may require traditional venture capital or private equity involvement.The podcast also discusses the introduction of AI agents by major tech companies like Microsoft, Snowflake, and Google, which are reshaping the managed service provider landscape. These AI tools are designed to enhance data analysis and automate workflows, allowing businesses to operate more efficiently. As AI agents become more integrated into everyday operations, MSPs must adapt their service offerings to meet the evolving needs of their clients, focusing on governance, data management, and workflow alignment.Finally, the episode touches on a collaborative effort among major tech firms to create a public glossary for state-sponsored hacking groups and cybercriminals. While this initiative aims to reduce confusion in the cybersecurity landscape, critics argue that it does not address the underlying challenges of attribution and operational defense. The podcast emphasizes the need for standardized threat intelligence delivery to help MSPs navigate the complexities of cybersecurity and build trust with their customers.  Four things to know today  00:00 NWN's $470M InterVision Deal Signals Strategic Shift Toward End-to-End AI-Managed Services04:18 Empath Raises $2M from MSPs, Blending Customer Ownership with Startup Capital07:09 AI Agents Go Mainstream: From MSP Operations to M365 and Edge, the Stack Is Shifting10:19 Glossary Effort Shows Progress on Language, Not Yet on Coordination Supported by:  https://getnerdio.com/nerdio-manager-for-msp/ All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

En el Radar Empresarial de hoy analizamos a Anthropic: según cuenta en exclusiva Reuters, la tecnológica consigue llegar a la cima de los 3.000 millones de dólares en ingresos, lo que la coloca en una de las compañías a seguir dentro del mundo de la Inteligencia Artificial. Y es que muchos de estos ingresos provienen del campo de la IA, donde la compañía tiene numerosos tratos con algunas de las empresas más importantes del mundo. Estos ingresos en su mayoría vienen de la venta de modelos de IA a otras compañías. De todas ellas, hay dos de las siete magníficas: Amazon, que ha invertido en la empresa 8 mil millones de dólares, y que utiliza sus servicios de programación y a cambio Anthropic utiliza Amazon Web Services como su principal proveedor de nube. La otra compañía es Google: la empresa se sirve de los modelos de lenguaje de Anthropic, conocidos como Claude. En una entrevista para la CNN, Amodei aseguró que que la IA podría destruir hasta un 20 % de empleo en cinco años. Además, el director ejecutivo advirtió al gobierno estadounidense de que los efectos podrían ser devastadores si no se prepara el terreno. Para él, los cambios en la tecnología siempre han existido, pero no a la velocidad que ha ocurrido con la Inteligencia Artificial. Lo más chocante de la entrevista es que un hombre de su posición vaticine estas malas condiciones laborales. ¿Por qué Amodei lanza estos mensajes? El crecimiento de Anthropic le ha sacado a la palestra y le ha creado como era de esperar rivalidades, sobre todo con Open AI. De hecho, Amodei desempeñó labores como vicepresidente de investigación hasta 2021. El desarrollo de las dos ha dejado estas dos alianzas: Amazon-Anthropic y Microsoft y OpenAI. Aunque con una diferencia: Open AI con su Chat GPT está enfocado al consumidor mientras que Anthropic está creciendo a través de sus servicios a empresas. Anthropic fue fundada en 2021 por antiguos miembros de OpenAI, en particular los hermanos Dario y Daniela Amodei, momento en el que ambos dejaron la compañía de Sam Altman. De hecho, una de las razones por la que los dos dejaron la compañía fue la asociación entre OpenAI y Microsoft, ocurrida en 2019.

Small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are increasingly turning to third-party service providers to enhance their capabilities in artificial intelligence (AI) and hybrid cloud solutions. A recent Forrester report, commissioned by Crayon, indicates that 31% of surveyed leaders from Australia, New Zealand, India, and Southeast Asia plan to combine in-house teams with external providers to improve their AI capabilities within the next year. The report highlights a significant interest in AI, with 83% of respondents experimenting with free AI tools, although many are still in the exploration phase rather than implementation. Additionally, 87% of businesses are increasing their budgets for third-party services, signaling a shift towards advisory and pilot projects rather than traditional managed services.In Europe, there is a growing trend among customers to seek alternatives to U.S. cloud service providers due to concerns over reliability, pricing, and data security. Discussions at the recent KubeCon EU event revealed a tripling of inquiries for local cloud solutions, with companies like NextCloud gaining traction. The dominance of major players like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft, and Google, which control about 70% of the European cloud market, is being challenged as organizations question their control over data and consider a transition to trusted local providers.Meanwhile, U.S. manufacturing sentiment is declining, with many manufacturers bracing for recession-like conditions amid ongoing trade tensions. Surveys indicate a significant drop in optimism among factory owners, with the New York Federal Reserve reporting one of the lowest outlooks in over two decades. Although manufacturing output saw a slight increase in March, the overall landscape remains volatile, with future hiring intentions at their lowest since 2016. This juxtaposition of rising output against declining sentiment underscores the complexities facing the manufacturing sector.Lastly, Synology is tightening its grip on hardware by implementing restrictions on the use of third-party hard drives in its future network-attached storage devices. Starting in 2025, only Synology-branded drives and those certified by the company will be supported for full functionality. This move raises concerns about vendor lock-in, particularly for managed service providers (MSPs) who have relied on Synology for its reliability and ease of use. Additionally, a cautionary tale emerges from U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's misuse of Signal for sharing sensitive military information, highlighting the importance of operational security and the need for a strong cybersecurity culture within organizations. Three things to know today 00:00 Tech Tides Are Shifting: SMBs Want Advice, Europe Wants Control, and U.S. Industry Feels the Strain05:58 Hard Drives Locked Out: Synology Tightens the Rules, and MSPs Might Rethink Their NAS Game07:32 He Did It Again: Hegseth's Signal Habit Raises the Stakes for Cybersecurity Culture  Supported by:  https://www.huntress.com/mspradio/ https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorship  Join Dave April 22nd to learn about Marketing in the AI Era.  Signup here:  https://hubs.la/Q03dwWqg0 All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?
