Mmm, there’s nothing like the taste of farm fresh CloudBerry. Just ask Matt, Rich, and guest host Randolph Carnegie, managing director of Chicago-based IT provider Ken-Kor Consulting. In addition to that topic, they discuss the first big step toward building a managed services tool suite by MSP360 (formerly CloudBerry Lab), Lenovo’s newest hyperconverged infrastructure solutions, and IT By Design’s intriguing move from outsourcing and staffing into partner education and consulting. Then stick around for the timely interview on the often latest, often surprising trends in ransomware with Dan Schiappa, chief product officer of Sophos, and Chester Wisniewski, the company’s principal research scientist. It’s about the only thing we can think of scary enough to ruin all those delicious CloudBerries you’re about to eat.

When Doug Hazelman asks MSPs what they’re most excited about and what they’re most afraid of they come back with the same answer: artificial intelligence. “They know it’s likely to bring about the most possible disruption but they’re not sure how to implement it,” he said. “And what happens when AI becomes self-aware? We’ve all seen enough movies that it’s something that concerns us.” Almost every MSP is interested in adding AI but not many know what to do with it, said Hazelman, vice president of technical marketing at MSP360, formerly CloudBerry Lab. In this episode of the EmTech Cast from CompTIA’s Emerging Tech Community, Hazelman talks with CompTIA Vice President of Member Communities Jim Hamilton about how emerging tech is helping MSPs drive their businesses, challenges they face and money making opportunities for the future. Listen for ways robotic process automation (RPA) can help replicate monotonous tasks and help customers become more productive, the added security risks of living on the bleeding edge of emerging technology and how tools like chatbots can free up human talent resources on the MSP side. “It’s difficult to let a chatbot take a ticket from open-to-close but if you can have a ticket from open-to-try-a-couple-of-things-and-pass-it-off, now your tech doesn’t have to do those first two steps,” Hazelman said.

In case you haven’t heard, CloudBerry Lab is now MSP360. Brian and I previously worked together at Veeam where we had office next to each other. When I heard Brian was joining CloudBerry I was excited to work with him again. In this episode we start off talking about Brain’s new role as CEO and about CloudBerry’s name change to MSP360 but then we get into a great discussion about hiring (and retaining) sales people. Brian’s experience is building teams, and especially sales teams, makes him the perfect guest to share his advice. To start with, Brian recommends a book, “Never Hire a Bad Salesperson Again” which allows you to identify the key traits to hire someone who’s going to be successful. Brian continues the conversation with some great advice for all of you looking to hire salespeople.

Hank tells me about how focusing on just the one service has helped Bluesky be successful. By partnering with software companies that serve small business, Hank has found some great opportunities to grow his business. By white labeling the backup software (from CloudBerry Lab) they offer their own branded solution. Bluesky has truly carved out its own space in the market.
