Erick and Rich talk about strategies for changing endpoint and network management from increasingly commoditized services to profit engines, as well as three strategies for accelerating MSP growth in AI, cloud, and remote productivity. Then they’re joined by Cisco execs Tim Coogan and Elisabeth De Dobbeleer to discuss the new Cisco 360 partner program and the channel analysis behind it.
