New “How To” Business Playbook Gives MSPs Step-by-Step Advice for Successfully Building and Growing a Profitable Managed Services Business

N-able by SolarWinds, a global leader in remote monitoring and management (RMM) and service automation software, recently launched the industry’s first MSP Playbook which delivers best practices and step-by-step business and technology guidelines to managed service providers (MSPs) worldwide. Designed as an end-to-end business plan, the new MSP Playbook is valued at more than $50,000 and provides new and established MSPs with the checks and balances needed to build and maintain a successful managed services practice.

Now available exclusively to N-able partners worldwide for a fee, the new MSP Playbook complements N-able’s N-central RMM and MSP service automation platform and covers nearly every aspect of the MSP business model. The e-book dives deep into the best practices, growth strategies and proven tactics of today’s most successful MSPs, providing a roadmap for delivering high performance, proactive managed services. A preview of N-able’s MSP Playbook can be found at https://secure.n-able.com/playbookpreview/.

With more than 13 chapters, N-able’s MSP Playbook details how to build, buy or outsource a network operations center (NOC), how to price services, organize a winning sales and support team, and optimize profits and maximize recurring revenues. The book also covers how to choose a professional services automation (PSA) tool, and provides a number of sample agreements and service level agreements (SLA) to jump-start MSP efforts in these areas with proven strategies for success.

“N-able’s MSP Playbook is a tell-all reader’s guide for becoming one of the world’s most successful MSPs,” says Mike Cullen, senior vice president of sales, N-able. “With the MSP Playbook we’ve documented and detailed everything an MSP needs to know and do to establish, grow and scale a profitable services practice and deliver 100% IT coverage with ease, efficiency and measurement.”

The new e-book follows the launch of N-able’s MSP Business and Technician Runbooks and builds on the success of the company’s Blueprint for Success and Report Manager offerings.

“We believe that our relentless focus on technology innovation and business excellence sets N-able apart in the industry and continues to drive clear and differentiated value to our MSP partners,” says JP Jauvin, general manager, N-able. “The MSP Playbook is yet another example of how N-able works to drive the IT services industry forward and accelerate adoption of managed services worldwide.”
