Dealer group Synaxon aims to open up new managed services and hosting opportunities to its members through a link-up with Kaseya.

Kaseya’s IT Automation Framework provides resellers with a platform to remotely monitor, support and manage multiple client networks from a web interface.

Synaxon plans to become an aggregator for such services on behalf of its 560 UK members, and this is its first deal in the space.

Derek Jones, managing director of Synaxon UK, said: “The Kaseya approach is proven and highly effective, and through this agreement we are giving all our members the opportunity to start addressing what we believe will be a very significant sector of the market.”

Jones added that SMEs would lead adoption of remote management and hosted services.

Mike Sanders, vice president of managed service provider sales EMEA at Kaseya, said: “We have an excellent – and proven - value proposition in what is undoubtedly going to be one of the major areas of business growth for the channel over the next five years.

“As a trusted partner and adviser for hundreds of resellers up and down the UK, Synaxon is ideally placed to help them understand and start to address this tremendous opportunity.”
