  Refining Process Through Automation

  Eric Dosal and Rick Phipps will discuss their collaboration and approaches for improving service delivery efficiency and profitability at their respective companies. The presentation will focus on two aspects of the endeavor: 1) using your ConnectWise data to identify the best candidates for improvement and to measure the results and 2) implementing improvements through automation, leveraging Connectwise and your RMM tool.

  Your ConnectWise database holds a wealth of information, beyond what you may traditionally consume, to help manage opportunities, effort and invoices. It also holds the keys to understanding, specifically, what is costing you money, how much, and how frequently. With that understanding, you have the ability to make smart, data-driven (business intelligent) decisions about improving your bottom line results.

  We will show you how you can view and use that data, our approach to this initiative, and several tips & tricks we came away with from our experience.
