CMIT SoH-KW<\/strong><\/a> (A CAP5 Technology Solutions, LLC Company) was, for the most part, vendor partner agnostic.\u00a0 This means, we built partnerships with our vendors based on our customer&#8217;s needs.\u00a0 Honestly, this was a good strategy, but not the best strategy.\u00a0 Although we could service any array of solutions, it really wasn&#8217;t the most effective way to manage our customers IT environments.\u00a0 For the most part, our customers didn&#8217;t care whose solution we used; <strong>it just mattered <em>&#8220;that it got the job done!&#8221;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Making Vendor Choices<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Enter 2023 and a lot of vetting in the months prior to the new year.\u00a0 Our first choice was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaseya.com\/\">Kaseya<\/a>\/<a href=\"https:\/\/www.datto.com\/\">Datto<\/a> (still separate but merged in June 2022) to provide monitoring and security management.\u00a0 Thereafter, we chose <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pax8.com\/en-us\/\">PAX8<\/a> as our Software as a Service (SaaS) provider. The vetting process mission plan was this:<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>&#8220;We want to manage our customers through a single pane of glass and allow them to have a wide array of SaaS products provided through a single vendor.&#8221;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Making it Happen<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cmitsolutions.com\/houston-katy-willowbrook\/\">CMIT SoH-KW<\/a> spent the entire months of November\/December finalizing the partnerships and migrating the all of our customers to the new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.datto.com\/\">Datto<\/a> platform and initiating services to be purchased and delivered through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pax8.com\/en-us\/\">PAX8<\/a>.\u00a0 Although we still have a few services remaining with our prior partner vendors for logistical purposes, a majority of CMIT SoH-KW are now being delivered via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaseya.com\/\">Kaseya<\/a>\/<a href=\"https:\/\/www.datto.com\/\">Datto<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pax8.com\/en-us\/\">PAX8<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>What does this mean to our customers? <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong><em>&#8220;That it gets the job done!&#8221;<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 Better yet, <a href=\"https:\/\/cmitsolutions.com\/houston-katy-willowbrook\/\">CMIT SoH-KW<\/a> is a much more efficient team and that we can now provide a much broader set of tools and services <em><strong>&#8220;to get the job done even better than ever before!&#8221;<\/strong><\/em> (see following articles of services provided through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaseya.com\/\">Kaseya<\/a>\/<a href=\"https:\/\/www.datto.com\/\">Datto<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pax8.com\/en-us\/\">PAX8<\/a>)<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Kudos to the Team<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>I <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/lancegriffith\/\">(Lance Griffith, CEO of CAP5)<\/a> want to give huge kudos to my tech team who made this happen!.\u00a0 I especially want to shout loud that my Director of Technical Services, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/blake-b-northrup-0507316b\/\"><strong>Blake Northrup<\/strong><\/a>, was the champion of these huge undertakings.\u00a0 He managed and educated himself and his team to make sure this happened with no customer interference of disruptions.\u00a0 \u00a0<em><strong>&#8220;JOB WELL DONE.
