Nerdio Exec On How To Build A Successful Cloud Practice With Microsoft Azure

‘If you’re a managed service provider and you’re not thinking about public cloud, you really should be,’ Nerdio CRO Joseph Landes tells CRNtv.

There’s no better time for managed service providers to jump on the train with Microsoft Azure as the demand for remote work continues, according to Nerdio Chief Revenue Officer Joseph Landes.

Which is why Landes is encouraging MSPs to take advantage of the momentum and take the next step to growing their business in the cloud, if they haven’t already.

“Microsoft just announced that they grew their Azure business 48 percent. So, if you’re an MSP who has not grown your business 48 percent, you should seriously consider moving to the public cloud with Microsoft Azure,” Landes told CRNtv.

“And at Nerdio our mission is to empower MSPs to build successful cloud practices in Microsoft Azure, and help you on that journey,” he added.

Here’s a look at some of CRNtv’s virtual interview with Landes:

Now what role does Nerdio playing in helping MSPs address some of these challenges?
