Managed Service Providers (MSPs) face a competitive landscape in 2023 that continues to evolve due to technological advancements and changing client needs. To stand out from the competition, MSPs need to adopt innovative strategies that focus on delivering exceptional value, building strong client relationships, and staying ahead of industry trends.
Lee Rozeboom, Vice President and Managing Director of Sales at GreatAmerica, and Peter Kujawa, Vice President of Service Leadership, Inc.®, a ConnectWise solution hosted the first of a series of three webinars discussing why the mid-year point (Q3) is an important time for solution providers – and how solution providers can get the most out of this critical time.
GreatAmerica Financial Services teamed up with CompTIA to support Ticket to Tech, a new program to help ConnectWise partners connect with a talented new crop of job-ready tech learners seeking employment, with a generous contribution of $10,000. GreatAmerica is the largest independent, family-owned national commercial equipment finance company in the U.S. and is dedicated to helping manufacturers, vendors, and dealers be more successful and keep their customers for a lifetime by offering technology equipment financing.

This article can serve as a refresher for your team members, or as part of training your new hires.

Updated 12/15/2022. Originally published 2/25/2021. What is Hardware as a Service (HaaS)? Hardware as a Service – or HaaS – is a proven business model for MSPs and Technology Solution Providers and an important piece to a complete As-A-Service model. It is a simple concept. You sell a total solution to your customer. They get the hardware, software, installation, training, consulting and, of course, it all comes fully managed in a single monthly payment. Many times, Managed Service Providers buy and own the hardware, and rent it to the client along with their Service Level Agreement (SLA), which the MSP bills and collects monthly. This model gives Solution Providers the ability to increase margins on hardware and service, standardize their customer base, and improve recurring revenue. HaaS also has the unique ability to cripple the cash flow of a Managed Service Provider if not well-managed.
Monthly payment options are continuing to become utilized by all our favorite companies like Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, and so should you!
