CEOs from ThunderCat, WWT, NB Technology, 3rd Element, Xperteks and other solution provider businesses weigh in on the cloud opportunity in 2023.

Open Systems
CEO: Geoff Haydon*
Geoff Haydon, CEO of Open Systems – a member of CRN’s 2023 MSP 500 – said that this year, his company is “focused on supporting the large number of organizations which use Microsoft for their IT and cloud infrastructure.”
“Together, we help these customers maximize their Microsoft investments to improve their cyber defenses and achieve their digital transformation goals,” Haydon said. “The demand for managed detection and response (MDR) services is growing quickly with these, and other, customers.”
Open Systems – which has offices in Redwood City, Calif.; Switzerland, India, Germany and Austria – recently rebranded its MDR division as Ontinue, starting a channel partner program for the division.
*After CRN concluded its CEO Outlook special report, Haydon became executive chairman of Open Systems and CEO of Open Systems division Ontinue.
