How MSPs and ISVs Can Advance Client Digital Transformation Goals While Increasing Margins

Managed service providers (MSP)s and independent software vendors (ISV) often face challenges when helping customers implement digital transformation plans. These challenges vary, but often include working with tight IT budgets, providing access to legacy applications and providing data security while avoiding unnecessary complexity.

One recent study found that 93% of MSPs want to expand their IT security offerings. However, due to the rapid pace of technological change, it can be difficult for MSPs and ISVs to keep up with and attend to the changing needs of both their clients and their own organizations.

To overcome these challenges, MSPs and ISVs should seek technology solutions that meet certain key criteria out of the box, such as being secure, cost-effective, and easy to implement and manage.

That’s where Parallels RAS and WinZip Enterprise can help. Both products, which are offered as part of Alludo’s Partner Program, empower MSPs and ISVs to help clients hit digital transformation goals and achieve business growth while providing partners with the knowledge, skills and tools necessary to provide ongoing customer support.

In this post, we’ll take a closer look at both solutions and explore how the recent acquisition of Awingu by Alludo (formerly Corel Corporation) adds even more benefits and advantages for MSP and ISV partners.

Many MSPs offer network security solutions and unified threat management as part of their services. Adding WinZip Enterprise enables MSPs to provide customers with a powerful encryption solution that integrates with Microsoft SharePoint to back up sensitive files, creating multiple layers of security for organizations that need it.

How Alludo’s Acquisition of Awingu Benefits MSPs and ISVs

Alludo is committed to deepening and expanding our relationship with MSPs and ISVs. On June 13, Alludo’s executive leadership team formally announced the acquisition of Awingu.

Awingu’s secure remote access technology provides an alternative to virtual private networks (VPNs) by leveraging a comprehensive, browser-based “clientless” approach. This enables users to securely access applications, desktops and files from any device, anywhere. With no agents to be installed on servers, Awingu is easy to deploy and configure.

By adding Awingu to the Parallels tech stack, we’re taking a major step toward empowering MSPs and ISVs to help solve the challenges customers face today, where organizations rely on a mix of legacy applications, on-premises assets, cloud-based solutions and more, while enabling them to advance on key digital transformation initiatives for 2023 and beyond.
