Episode 93: IT By Design’s Sunny Kaila on Supporting MSPs in Crisis

IT By Design – a master MSP that specializes in supporting solution providers with technical, infrastructure, and human resources – is seeing an increase in requests for help amid coronavirus. The pandemic’s mitigation measures are revealing the strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for managed services. IT By Design CEO Sunny Kaila joins Pod2112 to discuss how MSPs are coping with COVID-19’s fallout.
