Bayou Tech, a dedicated ConnectWise shop, faced significant challenges in optimizing the complex software. As the tool tracks all hours within their system, understanding it was vital. However, according to Founder & CEO Victor Wukovits, Bayou Tech lost money due to their struggle to optimize their investment.
Before partnering with MSP+OS, Bayou Tech tried several unsuccessful solutions:
Implementation with ConnectWise Professional Services Team: Bayou Tech engaged the ConnectWise Professional Services Team to help them implement the software, but they found that the team's approach did not address the unique needs and challenges of their business. Since the "consultants" of the team tend to be more product specialists, the guidance was lacking first-hand experience.
An independent consultant, who offered support but lacked long-term structure: Bayou Tech also tried working with an independent consultant who provided support but failed to offer a sustainable, long-term structure that would ensure the effective use of ConnectWise in their daily operations. Most of this was due to the fact that the independent consultant did not have the capacity to provide process adherence training and mentoring to team members.
An MSP coaching company that only provided high-level advice: In another attempt to optimize their ConnectWise experience, Bayou Tech sought assistance from an MSP coaching company. However, this company's focus was limited to consulting only, leaving Bayou Tech's software optimization needs unaddressed.
Despite these attempts, Bayou Tech needed a more comprehensive solution to make the most of their ConnectWise Manage PSA. This is where MSP+OS stepped in, providing the missing link: "hands-on" configuration, expertise, administration, and support necessary to help Bayou Tech overcome their software challenges and unlock the full potential of their ConnectWise investment.
The Solution
Upon partnering with MSP+OS, Bayou Tech finally found a solution that addressed their complex needs effectively and cohesively. MSP+OS' affordable, expert consulting, administration, and support helped maximize their ROI on ConnectWise.
From the beginning, MSP+OS' CEO, Adam, was actively engaged and responsive to Bayou Tech's needs. This positive relationship extended throughout the on-boarding process, as the Bayou team connected with well-trained MSP+OS counterparts.
Key improvements provided by MSP+OS to Bayou Tech include:
These enhancements allowed Bayou Tech to scale more efficiently, enabling employees to focus on servicing clients rather than maintaining ConnectWise.
“MSP+OS is helping us mature as a business by implementing operating procedures. Now, we know how to do everything correctly. Getting their advice has been hugely helpful for us in terms of getting things done.”
The Results
Bayou Tech's partnership with MSP+OS has led to significant improvements in efficiency, scalability, and seamless operations. Implementing BrightGauge to track KPIs in-depth has already yielded positive results, including:
Even when Bayou Tech becomes fully proficient in using ConnectWise, they plan to retain MSP+OS' services. Victor appreciates the on-demand expertise, knowing that his team can reach out to MSP+OS whenever they face a challenge.
This long-term partnership is built on trust, as Bayou Tech does not want to start over with another partner. They are confident in MSP+OS' ability to provide the right resources and address any future system issues that may arise, ensuring ongoing support and growth.
“I mean, I could hire internally. Train a fairly intelligent tech on both ConnectWise and our unique processes. Then you've got benefits and burden costs ,of course. At the end of the day it's about a $150K/year. Or...I can pay SPG $2,000 monthly and gain access to a team of systems experts. It’s easy math.”
