4 Steps to Manage Your MSP Business During A Crisis
In the managed service provider (MSP) channel, Forrester tells us that about 25% of service providers are running at break-even, even during great economic times. That means that now, more than ever, it’s critical to be managing cash well. But crisis cash management is different than day-to-day management when profits are high and cash flow is steady. The fundamentals of managing your business don’t change during a crisis regardless of what causes that crisis. Whether the cause is a natural disaster, ransomware attack, keyman illness, or a pandemic-induced recession like COVID-19, there are real, practical, and effective ways to respond to ensure the survival of your business in the short and long term.

Everybody is vulnerable to those itchy nasties
Business continuity. The two words we strive to uphold, manage, and withstand through any crisis. But surprisingly, not every business has a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) or even a Business Continuity Management (BCM) system in place. Risk has become obsolete to them – like a mosquito, they just deal with them as and when they appear rather than putting measures in place to evade being bitten before they even have time to hatch!

The Post-COVID Landscape for MSPs: A Chat with Forrester’s Jay McBain
I recently had a great conversation with Jay McBain, Principal Analyst for Channels and Partnerships at Forrester, about how the economic downturn caused by COVID-19 will affect the channel – specifically the MSP Channel. There was a lot of territory to cover: from looking at the current state of the channel to how many in the channel may (or may not) survive the economic hardship to examining the real opportunities the pandemic has created for MSPs. I’ll recap our conversation below and you can watch the full interview as well, but long story short: while many in the channel will struggle to survive, there are also tremendous opportunities ahead.

Cyber Protection Includes Predicting Disk Drive Failures with Acronis AI
While cyber protection is most frequently discussed in relation to managing and securing operating software, it can also involve managing the hardware that stores your valuable data – namely your disk drives. Because if your drive fails, any data stored on it can be lost forever. All hard drives will fail at some point. While this is particularly true of traditional, magnetic disk hard drives (a.k.a. hard disk drives or HDD), newer solid state drives (SSD) that use flash memory also face issues once their memory cells start to fail. Several factors can lead to errors in these data storage devices. For complete cyber protection, ensuring the stability and reliability of your drive is critical to safeguarding your data.
