Introducing the Fleetsmith Partner Program

By Dave Vega

Before I joined Fleetsmith, I had a long career in IT, both in in-house roles and as an outside consultant. I wouldn’t say that consulting was harder, but it definitely came with some extra challenges. I had to do all the same maintenance, security, and compliance work that filled most of my time as an internal admin, but I had to do it for several clients at once, each with different needs, technical competencies, and device environments. That isn’t even getting into relationship management and customer service, which was a whole other workload on top of the normal IT stuff that I couldn’t let drop, even when I was heads down on a problem.

As a result, I found that time management was often as important as technical expertise. Anything that freed up time and brainpower felt like a life-preserver, because it gave me more control over my success. It meant more capacity in those moments when things were on fire and I needed a fix for a client now, and it meant more time to build my business when things were quiet. I learned that being an outside IT consultant without good tools is like walking a tightrope without a net — doable, but there’s no margin of error. When you fall, you fall hard.

That’s part of why I ended up at Fleetsmith. I love the way it can automate manual tasks like device deployment and patching, and how it proactively surfaces device issues to make visibility and triage effortless. I just knew this would be a game changer for managed service providers and other outsourced IT consultants.

That’s why I’m so excited to announce a new partnership program aimed at making it easier than ever for MSPs to use Fleetsmith to manage their clients’ devices.
