Remote monitoring and management (RMM) provider Continuum today launched Collaborate, an online forum that allows the company’s managed service provider (MSP) partners “to connect, share and learn.”  The company made the announcement at its Navigate user conference in Boston.

Collaborate was built on the Get Satisfaction customer engagement platform and replaces Continuum’s current partner support portal. The RMM provider said Collaborate is designed to give MSP partners a secure online platform to share updates, insights, thought leadership and business ideas that go beyond popular social media sites.

“We launched [Collaborate] after listening to our partners who wanted an online forum to showcase business and technology leadership, while collectively advancing their businesses,” she said in a prepared statement.
