September BASBITS Meeting Topics:
#1 Autotask
#2 Windows Home Server beta & Aurora
Autotask
John Holtz, Regional Manager with Autotask, will be with us on September 15th for a conversation with BASBIT’s about the Autotask Advantage and how it can help Solution Providers run their IT Business better. John will share some Autotask client success stories, show some live examples of their cloud-based application and be available for an informative Q&A session.
This practical, forward-looking session delves into new technologies developed by Autotask Corporation and demonstrates how you can use them to win new business and make your current customer relationships even more ‘sticky’. These technologies present the first real opportunity for IT service providers to create, network and effectively leverage their own IT ecosystem, and attendees will be presented with a wide range of business models and revenue opportunities built around collaboration, outsourcing and partnership with vendors, technology partners, subcontractors and clients’ internal IT departments.
Autotask is the #1 IT business management platform offering a better way to sell, deliver, manage, and bill your portfolio of IT services. This platform gives everyone in your company control over all of their critical business processes, delivered through a robust cloud-based infrastructure, and accessible on-demand from literally any PC or device connected to the Internet .
Service providers use Autotask internally to manage their contacts, sales opportunities, contracts, projects, service tickets, to-dos, notes, time entries, expenses, inventory, invoices and reports. They also use it externally to manage outsourced work, collaborate with clients, and network with their peers.
Windows Home Server beta & Aurora
Our own Tim Carney will be Demonstrating & Comparing Windows Home Server beta & Aurora. These two beta products will play a larger role for many of our clients when compared to the current version of WHS. We will look at both products, their common connector software and where each fits into our clients IT needs.
