For those that haven’t heard, this morning we debuted our new hosted N-central Express software to Microsoft partners at no cost and with no obligation for one year. The news comes just weeks after we announced plans to integrate Microsoft System Center Essentials and N-central and provide more direct support to Microsoft partners.
There’s no doubt that N-central Express will certainly pique the interest of the channel, and of course our competitors. It’s truly a first for N-able and serves as a trigger for the proliferation of a number of industry trends (which MSPMentor talked up this morning) including the intro of no cost starter programs for managed services, the widespread convergence of SaaS & managed services, as well as the expansion of collaborative, targeted partner marketing.
What’s great about N-central Express is that Microsoft partners who may have been uncertain about managed services can now easily test the waters and realize the positive and profitable impact managed services can have on their business, as well as their clients’ – without any investment in people or software.
For those who want to learn more, we’ve teamed up with Microsoft and N-able Partner David D’Arcy of Precision IT Group to host an informative webinar tomorrow, April 15 at 2 p.m. ET. During this one-hour event, we will discuss IT automation, managed services and the tools necessary to build a successful services practice.
