"As an MSP, we prioritize productivity, efficiency, and
profitability. Traditional models have demanded heavy
upfront investment which puts a strain on cash flow,
impacts our time to scale and can slow customer
acquisition and onboarding. Extreme’s MSP program has
flipped old models on its head —accelerating time to value
for customers and boosting time to revenue for MSPs. This
allows us to focus on service quality instead of capital
restraints."
