‘I See a Huge Opportunity’
As an Open Systems board member, Schuster provides feedback and insight to executives. That’s a big deal. Schuster brings years of Microsoft and channel experience to Open Systems. If the company is as intent as it seems on beefing up its partner program, leaders will listen to, and act on, Schuster’s input.
“I see a huge opportunity at Open Systems for the partner community to build on the skillset they have around Microsoft 365,” Schuster told Channel Futures.
For example, as Microsoft invests more in security, Open Systems will direct that expertise into its own managed detection and response platforms, Schuster said. From there, partners can “expand and provide even greater services to the customer … and build some of their own added services.”
