MSP Expo Exhibitor Datagate partners with Intuit on Complete Cloud Telecom Billing and Accounting Package for MSPs
There was exciting news today from Mark Loveys , CEO of Datagate Telecom Billing and Intuit - they have teamed up on a solution that will reduce the headaches MSPs have when dealing with telecom billing and accounting.
Intuit is a financial software company founded in 1983 by Scott Cook and Tom Proulx. The company's flagship product, Quicken, was one of the first personal finance management software programs available for home computers. Intuit also developed and markets QuickBooks, a small business accounting software, and TurboTax, a tax preparation software. The company has grown significantly over the years through acquisitions of other financial software companies and has become a major player in the personal finance and small business software industry.
Datagate differentiates itself as telecom billing software which integrates with the RMM software MSPs use to run their business. These days, the best-run MSPs are metrics-oriented while being laser-focused on eliminating problems before they happen. Cybersecurity is an example of a threat that needs to be dealt with before clients or the MSP gets hit.
Similar to cybersecurity, telecom billing and taxation can be a minefield of regulatory scrutiny and fines - if the MSP is not careful. They need to be sure they accurately manage the provisioning of telecom service before they embark on the journey or risk future financial consequences.
Providing white-label telecom solutions is popular with MSPs because they can control pricing and margins. They could even reduce churn as a result! Some vendors tout that their white-label solutions can yield 4 or 5 times the profit of traditional telecom reseller agreements. Selling white-label can also potentially boost the valuation of an MSP because a potential acquirer values this revenue differently than commission.
