I dropped by the Symantec booth at IT Nation and had some fun horsing around with Anne Stobaugh and Dal Gemmell. They brought me up to speed with some of the latest programs at Syamantec.<\/p>\n
<\/a>Anne made a point that Symantec is trying to be very MSP friendly. They offer a monthly subscription buying program AND promised that you don\u2019t have to worry about Symantec contacting end users! The monthly program is a buy-what-you-need model and great for cash flow.<\/p>\n A few products are available in this program either on-premise or in the Cloud, including End Point Protection and Backup Exec.<\/p>\n Dal focuses on that Endpoint Protection piece and says Symantec is totally supporting Windows 8 devices at this time. As he says, \u201cIn this business, if you don\u2019t adapt quickly to change, you\u2019re not going to be in business for very long.\u201d<\/p>\n Symantec is also a big supporter of HTG. They support some groups directly and try to have a tight relationship. Their goal her is to stay tuned to what MSPs are looking for.<\/p>\n Symantec has an \u201cMSP Specialist\u201d team that focuses completely on MSP products and issues. You can contact the MSP team at \u2026 msp@symantec.com<\/a> or call 855-210-1101.<\/p>\n Download the Interview with Anne Stobaugh and Dal Gemmell from Symantec<\/a> here.<\/p>\n For more information on Symantec, visit www.symatec.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n For more information on IT Nation, visit www.TheITNation.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
