Kaseya looks East.

Kaseya have announced its plans to expand its network of partners, resellers and customers into the Middle East IT market. The company will target Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and corporate customers in the region, and has appointed Jim McMahon as Region Manager to head the new expansion. To coincide with the Middle East expansion they are also launching its UK and Dutch websites.

Kaseya will focus initially on signing deals with the numerous MSPs currently active across the Middle East--including the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait, and is offering interested MSPs the chance to download and use its software at no charge for a 30 day evaluation period. The company's technology allows MSPs to shift their business models from the provision of "break/fix" services to their clients to more proactive management and monitoring services.

They commented, "The traditional break/fix IT services model has had its day. In an increasingly competitive environment, managed service providers simply cannot deliver the depth, breadth or quality of service required using the traditional on site, engineer based approach. Recent research by IDC valued the IT services market in the UAE alone at $507.81 million in 2006 and expects the market to grow to $964 million by 2011. The highly scalable Kaseya IT automation software will help MSPs to deliver corporate level services to service this growing demand." "Using an integrated, automated solution, providers can ensure patch and security updates are always carried out; that anti-spyware is up to date; anti-virus software correctly configured; and temporary Internet files deleted. Furthermore, alerts raised by monitoring software can be acted upon--not by an engineer on standby but by an automated solution that can repair and reboot machines remotely," McMahon said.
