Bill Ooms, CEO, Business System Solutions
What was/is your general reaction to and thoughts about the announcement?
Negative. Datto has a stellar reputation, and Kaseya not so much. As others have merged there has been so much disruption and change that the service has suffered greatly. And at times the product stops moving forward as the VCs are just looking to collect on their investment. Case in point, VC1 did sell to VC2.
What do you predict the business impact will look like? The expansion?
Price increases, and slow degradation of product.
What will this mean for partners? For the industry as a whole?
Less competition, higher prices and poorer quality.
What will the new brand look like? Who and what will survive?
Probably either keep the Datto name or totally new (to hide Kaseya).
