Using AI to Create Profit and Efficiency in an Inflationary World

David Tan, CTO, CrushBank

Managed Services Providers (MSPs) are facing multiple challenges including economic pressures, labor shortages, and internal inefficiencies stemming from poor data quality and processes in their IT support systems. These issues are compounded for MSPs considering acquisitions, and traditional solutions like hiring more talent are no longer sufficient to address the growing demands. The proposed solution involves leveraging Artificial Intelligence to standardize data and processes, improving information access and technician efficiency while reducing the need for escalations.
