Kaseya has launched a new program to help ISVs integrate their offerings into Kaseya's managed services platform, according to Jim Alves, executive vice president of strategy and product marketing.

Under the Kaseya Third Party Integration Program, application developers have access to Kaseya's open code, which allows them to modify their own software to work under Kaseya's services console.

"Customers like choice and there are a lot of solutions out there. We can't build everything nor will we build everything," Alves said. "Our system is a framework to provide a single pane of glass management to other systems, things like backup products. On their own, they are good products, but service providers have said they can't deploy, configure and use one-offs because there's no centralized management or integration."

When it designed its Kaseya 2 platform, Kaseya built open APIs to allow ISVs to integrate their software so it shows up on Kaseya's menu, integrated into its security model and talks to the client agent, Alves said.

Companies including Autotask, Catbird, ConnectWise, Highly Reliable Systems, Tigerpaw, Untangle and Scorpion Software have signed up for the program, according to Kaseya. Integrated vendors will be featured on Kaseya's Website and can work with Kaseya on joint sales and marketing initiatives, Alves said.
