Welcome Back !
I
am very excited about this issue and especially thrilled to announce that we are returning to a print magazine ! We deeply value our relationships with the vendor community , and I want to start this issue with a special thank you to the vendors who supported us at the 2024 Boot Camp this past April . It was our biggest and BEST ever !
We couldn ' t have achieved such success without the unwavering support of the vendor community . If you missed it this year , make sure to talk to us in the fall to ensure your sponsorship . We sell out every year , so don ’ t miss out !
In this issue , we feature a fantastic interview with Rob Rae from Pax8 . Rob shares his insights on achieving success with MSPs and outlines his strategies for bringing even more success to Pax8 under his leadership . Hearing Rob speak is always inspiring , and this is a piece you won ’ t want to miss .
We are also excited to present a fascinating article on David Javaheri , CEO of Direct IT , and TMT ’ s 2022 Better Your Best winner . David discusses how he leveraged a vendor to quickly and easily increase his sales . His story serves as a great roadmap for how an MSP can use a vendor ’ s product to grow their business . Be sure to check it out .
Again , thank you for all your support and the incredible things you do for the channel . I hope you enjoy this edition .
Cheers !
