Timelines Are Important

Malwarebytes‘ Brian Thomas said partners need to be kept up to date on what’s happening after an acquisition is final.

“Communication needs to be done, but I also think timelines, especially for the MSP audience reaffirming or almost bolstering as the vendor, the migration strategy, if they choose to have one,” he said. “And what that timeline looks like because these acquisitions, as everyone knows, they take time. We aren’t actually going to see the Datto-Kaseya relationship form until early next year. And I think the timeline is also key in defining migrations, a migration strategy with the partner as the vendor, if that’s what they choose to do.”
