ConnectWise, LabTech And Quosal Power New ModernOffice Suite

Increased efficiency and profitability enabled by convergence and integration

ConnectWise, developer of the leading service management software designed exclusively for IT solution providers, VARS, ISVs and MSPs, recently announced the introduction of the ModernOffice Suite. This powerful suite sets the stage for unparalleled industry-changing innovations enabled by the convergence and integration of the ConnectWise platform with sister companies, LabTech Software (Remote Monitoring & Management) and Quosal (Quote & Proposal Automation). The ModernOffice Suite will leverage a shared roadmap of three best-in-class platforms to deliver an end-to-end IT lifecycle management solution. 

“We believe a converged suite is the future of the channel, enabling our partners to thrive as we enter this exciting software renaissance,” said Arnie Bellini, ConnectWise CEO. “With the ModernOffice Suite, we’re proving that the sum can indeed be greater than its parts, giving partners what they’ve been asking for: a single platform that leverages automation and integration to maximize the lifetime value of each customer.”

The ModernOffice Suite offers solution providers a tightly integrated solution that features the best that ConnectWise, LabTech and Quosal offer.  Development collaboration plans will focus on bringing partners better visibility into their clients’ environments while streamlining lifecycle management. The vision is to address the entire lifecycle, from automated discovery, to the development of sales proposals, to complete upgrades or build-outs and, ultimately, the management, invoicing and staffing of all necessary work. 

Phase one of the ModernOffice Suite integration points enables IT solution providers to rapidly, efficiently and proactively capitalize on new revenue opportunities across their customer bases and includes:

• System Audit:  Identify system level replacement possibilities such as memory, warranty, etc.

• Configuration Catalog:  Centralized configuration management repository

• Opportunity Sync:  Opportunities, statuses, notes, etc.

• Quote Demand:  Opportunity options and pricing

• Opportunity Workflow:  Quote and proposal acceptance and call backs

Future phases of convergence will include additional integration intersections such as network audit and health check capabilities, project sync and cloud services. 

“The ModernOffice Suite is designed to grow with our partners, bringing new innovation whether it comes from ConnectWise, LabTech or Quosal, or from across our partner ecosystem,” added Matt Nachtrab, CEO, LabTech Software. “That is why we continue to support open APIs and encourage any innovation that drives the IT services industry forward as a whole.”

“Having a single solution completely changes the way we sell to, service and manage our customers,” said Leo Reap, Senior Partner of IT Resource, Inc. “Not only are we able to recognize a new opportunity, where before it flew below our radar, we’re able to provide more value to our customers by proactively ensuring that they are always operating at peak performance.”
