Changes to the leadership team have been made at independenceIT; Jim Lippie who has been promoted to CEO is the MSP cloud services pioneer, and Seth Bostock has moved up to become president and COO.
The Cloud Workspace Suite is well known as the industry's most comprehensive channel-only Desktop as a Service (DaaS) solution, and it provides recurring revenue for VARs, ISPs and MSPs.
A new partnership between independenceIT and Artisan Infrastructure has been established, and will distribute control to partners as they realize greater profits and deploy better cloud services. iIT is specifically geared toward increasing recurring revenue for channel partners via its Cloud Workshop Suite, and Artisan Infrastructure acts as the wholesale Infrastructure as a Service provider (IaaS).
A new desktop-as-a-service (DaaS) solution from IndependenceIT is set for release this week, and will be made available solely through the channel. DaaS management will be accelerated through the new version of the Cloud Workspace Suite, and will ensure that partners can provide virtualized applications and desktops to more SMB or enterprise customers without the need to enlarge the partner's talent pool.
A new sales and marketing program is being released by independenceIT, and will aid in supporting channel partners. The three-tiered iIT University will ensure that members of the company's Partner Program can add cloud services to their current portfolio.
independenceIT and Autotask have entered into an agreement in which the solutions of both companies will be brought into the channel. As a result, MSPs will be more able to manage and distribute cloud services with ease.
