The episode starts with California's AI safety bill, SB 1047. The bill, which mandates safety testing and third-party audits for advanced AI systems costing over $100 million, has garnered opposition from industry leaders and academics who fear it may stifle innovation, particularly for smaller firms and academic research. As Governor Gavin Newsom deliberates on the bill, the episode highlights the tension between ensuring safety in AI technology and fostering an environment conducive to innovation.Sobel also covers the recent expansion of ConnectWise's MSP platform through the acquisitions of Axiant and Skykick. These acquisitions aim to enhance data protection and cloud management solutions for managed service providers (MSPs). The integration of these companies is expected to contribute to the development of ConnectWise ASIO, a comprehensive platform that combines various services, including professional services automation and cybersecurity solutions. The episode provides insights into the growth of Axiant and the implications of Skykick's acquisition, particularly in the context of cloud management.The podcast further explores the implications of AI in governance, referencing the recent campaign in Cheyenne, Wyoming, where an AI chatbot named Vic ran for mayor but ultimately lost to the incumbent. Victor Miller, the campaign's proponent, aimed to promote AI governance through his organization, the Rational Governance Alliance. Despite the defeat, Miller remains committed to advocating for AI's role in public decision-making, emphasizing the potential for more efficient and unbiased governance.Lastly, Sobel discusses the growing trend of AI-generated content, specifically ESPN's foray into AI-generated sports recaps for women's soccer. While the intention is to allow human writers to focus on more in-depth reporting, the initial AI-generated recaps have raised concerns about quality and nuance. The episode underscores the importance of human oversight in AI applications, suggesting that while AI can provide basic information, it may fall short in delivering the depth and context that quality journalism requires.Three things to know today 00:00 California's AI Safety Bill SB 1047 Faces Industry Opposition Over Innovation Concerns as It Awaits Governor Newsom's Decision04:52 ConnectWise Expands MSP Platform with Acquisitions of Axcient and SkyKick, Strengthening Data Protection and Cloud Management06:37 MSP Sector Sees Growth with AI-Driven Tools, Enhanced Security Pledges, and Expanding Cloud Marketplaces  Supported by:  https://getthread.com/mspradio/https://www.huntress.com/mspradio/  All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

And that conversation comes after some interesting discussion of why Axcient and N-able are seeing such strong momentum around direct-to-cloud BDR, the clever new integration between Trend Micro's security software and Cowbell Cyber's insurance platform, a new vendor RFQ tool from the QuoteWerks team, and why good documentation can increase your sale value in an M&A negotiation.

We talked about how planning and processes play a critical role in disaster recovery, especially in this past year or so.   Melvyn also mentioned about how important it is to "Plan for the worst-case scenario!". Your team should not be only thinking about point products and point solutions but how these products and solutions fit into a plan and how to execute this plan to counter disasters.  He also shared with us his 4 step MSP business continuity and disaster recovery process. They are:  1. Create a comprehensive risk assessment and business impact analysis - Look at potential risks and their impacts on your business.   2. Hardware and software Inventory - A comprehensive disaster recovery programme should include a thorough analysis of what you own and how you use it.  3. Set up an Instant Response Team - This ideally must be comprised of the members of the IT team; they are the men and women with the expertise to repairs those servers, to troubleshoot software, and can get you back online ASAP.  4. Keep the Disaster Recovery Plan Ready - Do not keep it a secret. It must be accessible especially during an emergency.  As they say, a winning effort begins with preparation.   Hope you enjoy this episode, and you learn from these MSP disaster recovery tips.

I am fundamentally lazy. Or busy. Or both. As a result, I sometimes captures interviews while I’m out and about and then don’t post them up right away. I’m going to be doing some catch-up here. I’ve got three quick interviews for you here. They are:   Steve Noel, MSP Evangelist for Axcient Jeff Dryall, Directory of Business Development with Plan 27 and Kevin Jones, Sales Engineer, RapidFire Tools   We’ll start with Steve Noel. Steve helped out one of my clients at the end of last year and we chat about that a bit. I ran into Steve at SMB Techfest (www.smbtechfest.com) awhile back. Axcient recently released a Granular Exchange Recovery tool – and they have lots of other cool things planned for 2015. In this podcast, Steve also gives details on the “freeware” version of the Axcient product so you can learn the product – and maybe even use it in an emergency. For more info, see www.axcient.com. Listen to our Interview Here.       Next up is Kevin Jones from RapidFire Tools, discussing their flagship product – Network Detective. Kevin tells us a bit about the new “Inspector” product. It’s a great tool for doing assessments and creating a vulnerability report for clients and prospects. Last year, RapidFire released a new HIPAA Compliance Module that has become very popular. Network Detective was named by CRN as the #1 income generating tool for 2014, largely due to the success of the HIPAA Compliance Module. Coming in 2015: a new PCI compliance module. For more info, see www.rapidfiretools.com. Listen to our Interview Here.         Last but not least, I talked to Jeff Dryall from Plan27. I insult him, then he insults me. Then we get down to the interview. Plan27 is a web-based lead generation service. They provide search engine marketing specifically for the channel – as a managed service. My question is: Isn’t SEO such a moving target that no one can stay on top for more than twenty minutes? Jeff’s got a great answer for that question. Plan27’s Google analytics team keeps your Google campaign fine tuned hour by hour. Find out more by listening to the interview. For more info, visit www.plan27.ca. Listen to our Interview Here.       Enjoy the recordings . . . I’ve got more coming soon from the Channel Partners event that just finished in Vegas.

Steve Noel: Management by Exception Interface takes continuity to the next level    I caught up with Steve “The Dude” Noel, Technical Sales Engineer with Axcient at the Autotask Community Live event.   Axcient’s big push right now is on their “Management by Exception” Interface for their business continuity solution. With this tool, you can get alerts if a good backup is not received within a specified time period.   On other fronts, Steve mentioned that Axcient is beginning to see more activity in the mid-market space in addition to the “S” side of SMB. (It is interesting that he’s the second person we interviewed that is seeing traction into the mid-market.) You can find out more at www.axcient.com   or contact Steve directly at snoel@axcient.com.  – Download the Interview with Steve Noel from Axcient  here.

One of my old friends Steve Noel talked to me about his role at Axcient and what the company’s up to these days. Steve is a Techno Sales Engineer at Axcient. Steve Noel Axcient is a 100% Channel focused backup and BDR solution. Steven doesn’t describe their solution as “BDR” but he says, “We eliminate downtime.” Whether your systems are physical, virtual, or some combination of things, Axcient can back up your stuff. Steve gives us a few notes on the new people who working at Axcient development. He promises that they have a lot of new developments in the funnel. Axcient is on a 6-week development cycle, so he expects some big changes very soon. Because the appliances are in constant communication with Axcient, they can increase functionality and update systems remotely and automatically. And of course quality assurance is very important in this process. Steve also gave us some information on their integration strategies for LabTech, ConnectWise, and other products.
