Episode Description

The cloud is here. It will happen. Most small businesses will go SaaS.

So let’s discuss where the gap is. For those delivering services, both IT Services companies & MSPs or the internal departments, they are thinking about what is needed to be effective. Tools? Understanding? Skills? APIs? Integrations?

What hasn’t the market supplied so far, and what is the gap. Most of the conversation is very endpoint, security, or backup focused, where the focus is the SaaS software.

Where is the gap in the market that’s ripe for disruption?

Joel Beasley is the host of the #1 leadership and technology podcast in the world, Modern CTO, focused on interviewing high-profile executives in leadership and technology. Joel is an MIT-educated CTO of Leaderbits with clients from Startups up to Billion dollar companies.

Kyle Christensen leads K7 Leadership. His first work with an IT Service Provider achieved 3X growth while maintaining exceptional profitability, and the second tripled the organization in 2 years. From there, co-founded a consulting firm that became the largest in the MSP industry.

Marcus Olson is the CEO and founder of Pliancy, a technology-enabled professional services company that helps growing startups scale their corporate IT. Since launching 5 years ago, Pliancy has bootstrapped its way to $36 million in annual revenue and has over 125 employees in 7 offices across the U.S.
