ChannelPro Weekly Podcast

Now, sadly, a duo instead of part of a trio, Matt and Rich blitz through several weeks of news, including the launch of Datto’s managed power product and partner marketing platform; the much-discussed demo of a Datto VDI solution at DattoCon 2017; Continuum’s acquisition by Thoma Bravo, the same private equity firm that owns competitor SolarWinds MSP; and ConnectWise’s ambitious plan to build a Lego-like customizable management platform for multiple kinds of technology solution provider.

In this special edition of ChannelPro Weekly, Matt, Rich, and ChannelPro publisher Michael Siggins celebrate the meticulous professionalism, boundless generosity, and infectious laugh of their dear and now painfully absent friend Cecilia Galvin. Find out through stories and memories from three of the people who knew her best and worked with her closest exactly what made Cecilia such a special editor and special person.

Then hear a mere sampling of the many people from across the worlds of IT and publishing who loved and admired Cecilia share their own thoughts about her, plus a "greatest hits" reel of Cecilia's most delightfully characteristic moments from this podcast.

Cecilia was a remarkable colleague and talent who had a bigger impact on more people than even she herself probably realized. Listen to this week's episode, and we're pretty sure you'll agree.

Reunited once more now that Rich is back from vacation, the ChannelPro Weekly crew explore Ingram Micro's expanded subscription-based purchasing program, Acronis's blockchain-equipped data protection platform, and the ins and outs of getting started in social media marketing.

That's followed by a discussion of easy add-on revenue opportunities in dictation and voice recognition solutions with Mike Whalen of eDist Business, a look back at a gizmo from Matt's tech museum that every would-be big shot once wanted you to see them using, and a chat about Microsoft's eye-catching new Surface Laptop.

Plus, we finally provide the once thing ChannelPro Weekly has been missing until now: Barnyard animal impersonations. One more reason this episode is finger licking good!

Matt and Cecilia take their best shot holding down the fort while Rich enjoys a long overdue vacation, roping in special guest and author Manuel Palachuk. Rich Jr. (played my Matt) takes a stab at going through a trio of news stories from eFolder, HP Enterprise, and NETGEAR. Then in part 2, Manuel (a.k.a. Manny) Palachuk joins the show for an insightful and interesting conversation about his winding career, leading to a new book and online portal that can help take any business to the next level.

After parting ways with Manuel, the dynamic duo discuss an interesting solution for dealing with license dongles in heavy VM enviornments, as well as a story detailing opportunities in MFPs. Plus, Matt manages to scrounge up an extra geeky museum pick that Cecilia was able to identify(!), as well as a tech pick from Microsemi Adaptec.

The ChannelPro Weekly team had to keep things moving this episode so Coach Matt could get to his daughter's little league softball game, yet your trio of hosts managed to squeeze in a discussion of Veeam's ambitious plan for conquering the business continuity market, a belated look at the news from last week's Microsoft Build conference, and an introduction to this year's ChannelPro Visionaries list.

That was followed by an exploration of the forces driving increased interest in self-serve help desks and an interview with Larry Meador of ChannelOnline, which makes a solution that includes self-serve hardware and software ordering. Plus, Matt shared not one but two tech picks, both of which happen to be firewalls from WatchGuard.

Finally, and contrary to what you'll hear during this week's show, we would prefer it if you don't hit Rich with a stick should you run into him on the street somewhere.

Extra! Extra! ChannelPro has exclusive news about Kaseya, and Matt, Cecilia, and Rich are all over it. They also have plenty to say about SYNNEX becoming the exclusive North American distributor of HP's 3D printing system, the "A" that Tech Data gave itself for onboarding the former Avnet Technology Solutions rapidly, a high-speed, high-volume scanner from Kodak, the difference between "managed" and "smart" switches, and the ransomware-related explosion in security training investments.

Somehow after all that they also find time for an interview with the CEO of Adar Inc., which makes the all-inclusive, all-online Nerdio SMB network solution, and a look at both a very old Logitech webcam from Matt's museum and a very new Logitech webcam that's Matt's tech pick of the week. And did you know that iguanas love Animal Planet? You will after listening to this week's show!
