In this episode of the All Things MSP Podcast, hosts Justin Esgar and Eric Anthony catch up on a busy week before diving into exclusive conversations straight from the Pax8 Beyond conference. They are joined by Libby McIlhany, Chief Product Officer at Pax8, and Cynthia Schreiner, Senior Manager of Channel Engagement at Pax8, to discuss the major announcements and strategic shifts happening within the IT channel ecosystem.
Libby breaks down the latest advancements in the Pax8 Marketplace platform, highlighting how the organization is shifting from simple infrastructure provisioning toward an era of "managed intelligence." This evolution introduces enhanced data visibility, robust analytics hubs, subscription insights, and integration advancements like the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. These tools are purposefully built to give managed service providers (MSPs) the real-time clarity they need to spot revenue trends, optimize renewals, and make proactive business decisions rather than just reacting to client problems.
Cynthia shares valuable updates regarding partner engagement, community enablement, and how Pax8 continues to support MSPs through peer programs, education, and peer-to-peer ecosystem growth. Whether you are looking to scale your business, better understand your monthly recurring revenue metrics, or leverage cutting-edge AI-driven tools within your tech stack, this episode provides a front-row seat to the future of cloud commerce.
A special thank you to our premier sponsors who make this show possible: Blumira, Choice Cyber Solutions, Compliance Scorecard, EasyDMARC, Gozynta, Material Security, and Sync365.
