Ray Barber RMM and MSP Product Specialist Irvine, California (Orange County, California Area) Computer Software Current: General Manager, US at CentraStage Limited

Ray Barber's Summary

Since my first IT position in the 90’s at ICL/Fujistu spearheading the managed services concept for them in the UK, the concept of recurring value-add services has been at the core of what I do.

Through my own MSP to joining Kaseya, I have been spreading the good word about how Managed Services can transform both the delivering business and the receiving business, my constant mission has been to evangelize and help continuously improve the role of Managed Services in IT companies.

It is still my belief that the SMB market is best served by getting high quality managed services delivered from a IT Service Provider, and I continue to work with Service Providers to make sure that they can consistently provide the best possible services to their customers while growing their own business and making it a scalable and profitable part of their offering.
