This week’s Synaxon UK National Conference will feature a keynote session about managed services opportunities and how resellers can develop new revenue streams.
The talk will be from Dave Sobel, Director of Partner Community at managed service provider Level Platforms, which was acquired by security software specialist AVG Technologies last month.
AVG also said it will introduce Managed Workplace 2013 to partners attending the Synaxon UK National Conference, which takes place in Cheshire from this Thursday, July 18th to Friday, July 19th.
Managed Workplace 2013 is a remote monitoring and management (RMM) platform, with advanced automation features and exclusive per-device pricing, which Synaxon says will help its 600-plus members "cost-effectively enter the managed services market".
Sobel’s talk will begin at 12.15pm on Thursday and looks at how resellers can grow revenue streams "as mobility, cloud, voice, video data and other technology trends converge".
On the Friday, AVG will also host two conference workshop sessions (10am to 11.15am and 11.45am to 1pm in the Stapeley room) which will demonstrate how Synaxon members can use RMM technology to help position services to prospects, expand offerings to existing clients and maximise performance.
“Managed Workplace streamlines time-consuming tasks across all aspects of a managed services offering – from customer acquisition and onboarding to ongoing monitoring and services expansion – to increase productivity, lower operating cost and drive revenue growth,” said Sobel.
Nathan Addison, Synaxon UK Channel Manager, added: “Our members understand and appreciate the importance of having the right managed services tools to help them successfully grow their business in this market.
“Now, with the added reputation and resources of AVG behind them, Level Platforms is not just a compelling product for our members in Managed Workplace 2013 but provides a phenomenal global support network too.”
A statement read: "Managed Workplace is the RMM platform of choice for Synaxon members. Expanded capabilities in Managed Workplace 2013 automate installation, device discovery, network audits, alerting and routine maintenance and security tasks to improve monitoring, rapidly resolve issues and more easily identify new revenue-generating opportunities."
Synaxon is Europe’s largest grouping of independent IT resellers and system houses.
