[139] How Microsoft Clause 6B Will Impact MSPs and Continuity and What to do

TubbTalk: The Podcast for Managed Service Providers

In this episode, Richard is joined by Daisy Pike, manager of Solution Consultants EMEA at PAX8. Daisy has a wealth of experience in the IT industry, as well as a degree in electrical engineering. Pax8 are a groundbreaking cloud marketplace platform for MSPs.

Daisy explains a typical day for her and what her team does, and how that fits in with the wider Pax8 mission. She also describes her background in STEM and nuclear power, and how that led her where she is today.

Richard and Daisy dig into continuity, why it’s so important for MSPs and why you need a good backup solution. She also explained why MSPs need to be aware of Microsoft Clause 6B.

Richard asked Daisy what MSPs should look for in a continuity platform, how they should explain the importance of it to their clients, and the various Pax8 continuity bundles to make it easier to implement into your existing stack.

Finally, Daisy shares her experiences as a woman in IT, her advice to girls wanting to get into STEM and who she considers her mentors.
