LONDON, Dec. 19, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kaseya®, the leading provider of complete IT management solutions for managed service providers (MSPs) and mid-market enterprises (MME), today announced record corporate growth for 2017. The springboard for its success is the continued adoption and market demand for Kaseya’s IT Complete platform.
As the industry’s first and only unified growth platform designed specifically for the MSP community, IT Complete enabled the average Kaseya MSP to grow its business by over 37 percent in 2017. Driven by Kaseya’s “Times 20” strategy of delivering solutions that allow MSPs to receive a 20 times return on their IT investments, IT Complete became an even more powerful revenue-generating platform for MSPs through strategic M&A activity, corporate growth and product innovation.
Kaseya’s customer-centric focus continues to provide strong financial results for the company as the company’s growth exceeded 40 percent in 2017 and continues to accelerate into 2018. With over 1,000 new PSA customers, surging customer satisfaction scores and the continuous delivery of proven, next-generation IT management solutions, 2017 has been a record year for Kaseya.
2017 Corporate and Product Milestones include:
Acquisition of Unigma
In May, Kaseya announced the launch and general availability of the Unigma Cloud Management Suite, based on an earlier acquisition. Aimed at filling the void in public cloud management solutions for MSPs, the Unigma Cloud Management Suite delivers unified cloud management capabilities that empower MSPs to automate billing tasks, and optimise costs through detailed cloud utilisation analysis. In October, Kaseya added new enhancements to Unigma including seamless Microsoft Office 365, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform and Amazon Web Services (AWS) billing integrations with professional services automation (PSA) solutions from Kaseya, ConnectWise and Autotask. Additionally, Unigma was fully integrated with AuthAnvil by Kaseya for secure single sign-on via Kaseya’s powerful identity and access management solution.
Product Enhancements
Powered Services
In 2017, Kaseya announced its game-changing Powered Services offering, specifically developed to enable MSPs to easily go-to-market and deliver innovative solutions for customers that immediately generate monthly recurring revenues. Security and network monitoring are especially critical areas of need for SMBs and midmarket businesses, and through Powered Services, MSPs can now deliver these emerging solutions with the expertise and agility to both address customer needs and accelerate the growth of their businesses.
Built on a foundation of innovative security solutions - such as single sign-on (SSO) and two-factor authentication (2FA) - AuthAnvil offers a powerful suite of functionality developed to protect MSPs, while also allowing MSPs to easily create a Security-as-a-Service (SECaaS) offering to grow their businesses. With SSO, 2FA and Password Management all included, the solution delivers modern, simple identity and access security at a highly affordable price. This is a timely service as recent research showed 80 percent of security breaches involve privileged credential misuse, a vulnerability AuthAnvil protects users from.
With a network monitoring service powered by Traverse by Kaseya, managed service providers and other IT delivery houses can offer their customers a valuable monitoring solution that helps them identify and resolve infrastructure issues faster than other leading monitoring tools. With deep network discovery and a business-centric view of network applications, a Network Monitoring-as-a-Service (NMaaS) powered service delivers on maximising network and application availability and performance.
Kaseya MSP Insights
The recent launch of Kaseya MSP Insights delivers a new business intelligence and benchmarking tool specifically designed to ensure the success of Kaseya MSP partners. Built upon proprietary technical and business data, the online portal allows MSPs to quickly and easily benchmark their own business metrics against other MSPs in their region, analyse new and emerging MSP service offerings, evaluate bundling and pricing strategies, and review detailed technical trends. With Kaseya MSP Insights, IT service providers can quickly benchmark their own list of technology solutions and services against what other local providers offer - delivering a huge competitive advantage.
