March 21, 2013

EAST GREENBUSH, NY — Autotask Corporation, the world’s leading provider of hosted IT business management software, today announced a new integration partnership with independenceIT™ (iIT), the software company exclusively focused on driving recurring revenue for channel partners.  The objective of the partnership is to significantly reduce the administrative burden of deploying and managing cloud services for managed service providers (MSPs).

The integration allows Autotask partners to leverage iIT’s nPanel™ and Cloud Workspace™ Suite to manage their clients’ cloud deployments from a single platform and automate time-consuming and manual workflows and focus more time on generating recurring revenue and increasing the value of their business.

iIT’s nPanel is designed to help technology solution providers broaden their cloud offerings and increase efficiencies within their organization.  Partners have the ability to seamlessly transfer customer tickets into and out of their Autotask system to avoid manual, repetitive tasks including price management, quote creation, ordering and provisioning cloud services.  Solution providers may also take advantage of multi-product, single location management to further eliminate redundant, disjointed processes.

“Autotask is committed to helping IT and managed services providers run their businesses more efficiently and more profitably,” said Len DiCostanzo, Autotask senior vice president of community and business development. “Building deep integrations with best-in-class solutions like independenceIT’s nPanel and Cloud Workspace Suite make it easier for our partners to manage and deliver a broader range of services and increase their value to their end customers.”

With many prominent thought leaders stating that channel companies have four years to transition to cloud-based business models, the market need for iIT’s integration with Autotask’s IT business management software is evident.  The nPanel Platform was developed with the sole purpose of making it easier for MSPs, ISPs and VARs to effectively manage cloud service customers and empower them to create new, recurring revenue streams.

“Our integration with Autotask perfectly showcases the companies’ shared commitment to enabling MSP success through the elimination of the administrative and technological barriers of managing cloud deployments, “said Jim Lippie, EVP, business development, iIT. “We believe it is imperative for service providers to transition to the cloud now to enable future success.  Autotask’s iIT integration greatly simplifies this process through intuitive, automated tools that create opportunities to grow revenues and maintain an edge in today’s competitive business environment.”

Those interested in learning more about the Autotask – iIT integration are invited to register for a complimentary webinar scheduled to be held Tuesday, April 2, at 1:00 p.m. US EDT.  

iIT will also be exhibiting and hosting an educational session at Autotask Community Live 2013 in Scottsdale, AZ from June 2-4, 2013. Event attendees are encouraged to visit iIT’s booth during the event to learn more about their services and the integration with Autotask.
