ConnectWise Sponsors Great Horned Owl Habitat at ZooTampa

Known for its 360-Degree Approach to Business Efficiency, ConnectWise is Focused on MSPs and Community


TAMPA, Fla., Oct. 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ConnectWise, the world’s leading software company dedicated to the success of IT solution providers (TSPs), has today announced it has become a Presenting Sponsor of ZooTampa at Lowry Park’s Great Horned Owl Habitat. This unique sponsorship reinforces the commitment made by ConnectWise to local wildlife conservation and its standing as a leading employer of choice in Tampa, Florida.

Synonymous with the ConnectWise brand and throughout the company’s history, with its extended field of vision, the owl was chosen to represent the company’s first flagship product, ConnectWise PSA, which gives TSPs and MSPs a 360-degree view of their businesses. Today, the owl’s significance remains embedded in the ConnectWise logo. As part of the sponsorship, ConnectWise signage will appear near the habitat, which currently hosts two great horned owls, Raviowli and Owlfredo. Both owls were rescued and rehabilitated after sustaining injuries.

Historically, conservation was important to the founder of ConnectWise, including supporting significant initiatives through the Florida legislature, such as the $300 million Florida Wildlife Corridor Act in 2021. Jason Magee, ConnectWise CEO, carries on this legacy. This sponsorship represents the most significant wildlife extension yet of ConnectWise’s philanthropic focus points: Wildlife, Information Technology, Security, and Education (WISE).
