“These talks will be critical as the channel evolves. We’ve got to work together to meet our reseller partners’ needs. They’re being challenged to help curate and simplify effective digital solutions for small and medium businesses, and they need a full stack of cloud solutions and fulfillment help to overcome it. Collaboration will be king.”

Vendasta works with channel partners to provide an expansive marketing and business solution suites complete with in-house Marketing Services fulfillment. This allows MSPs to outsource or offload portions of their service work while adopting new retention-driving solutions. The company was among 10 MSPs which received special awards Tuesday evening.
