New York — March 28, 2024 – Net at Work, North America’s largest provider of next-generation, digital operations platform technology solutions for small to medium-sized businesses, announced its MSP Partner Alliance Program has earned a spot in the 2024 Partner Program Guide published by CRN^®, a brand of The Channel Company.

This annual guide spotlights the most notable partner programs from industry-leading technology vendors providing innovative products and services through the IT channel to advance positive change and growth.

Net at Work’s MSP Partner Alliance Program is distinctive in the industry. The program enables MSPs to work with 350+ subject-matter experts across 30+ line of business applications to deliver a complete technology roadmap to their clients. Companies view LOB applications as just another piece of technology and want to be able to go to their trusted IT provider with digital transformation questions. Over the last few years, Net at Work has demonstrated that its program can make an immediate and lasting positive impact on MSP partners’ ability to deliver on the vision of being a trusted IT thought leader to their small and medium-sized customers.

“Our agnostic approach and deep expertise across a large group of IT categories and publishers enables us to provide the best resources to MSPs,” said Igal Rabinovich, Net at Work’s director of partner success. “MSP partners can act as true virtual CIOs by including technology categories they may not have in the past, such as ERP, CRM, HRIS, eCommerce and Document Management.”

For this year’s Partner Program Guide, CRN evaluated vendors on partner training and education, pre- and post-sales support, marketing programs and resources, technical support and communication.

“Recognition on this list reflects the value of spotlighted vendor partner programs and their commitment to evolving with solution providers and supporting IT channel success,” said Jennifer Follett, VP, U.S. Content and Executive Editor, CRN, at The Channel Company. “This recognition empowers solution providers to discover vendors that keep pace with the evolving requirements of their business and their clients. With CRN’s 2024 Partner Program Guide, solution providers can access deep insights into the unique strengths of each partner program and the vendors who demonstrate dedication to their partner community.”

“Forward-thinking MSPs have been successful in elevating their services beyond traditional IT support to become true vCIOs, helping their clients align their information systems with business objectives,” Rabinovich said. “We’re proud that Net at Work’s program helps our partners achieve that and, in turn, differentiate their organizations and improve customer retention.”

The 2024 Partner Program Guide will be featured in CRN’s April 2024 issue and online at www.CRN.com/PPG beginning March 25.

Net at Work is among the 100 companies in the Managed Security 100 group, one of three MSP 500 categories. The Managed Security 100 spotlights the top Managed Security Services Providers (MSSPs) who demonstrate excellence in security.

“Net at Work’s inclusion in the influential MSP 500 list and Managed Security 100 testifies to the results of our long-standing investment in managed services and security,” said Brian Kingsley, Net at Work practice director, Managed Services & Security. “In particular, the client- and security-centric focus implemented over the last two years has propelled growth and driven investments in deep strategic partnerships and cutting-edge tools. Unlike standard MSPs, we secure and support growth-oriented clients while helping them build exceptional employee and customer experiences.”

The MSP 500 list is a comprehensive guide to identifying and recognizing North America’s top MSPs. MSPs play a crucial role in supporting businesses by offering managed services that enhance efficiency, simplify IT solutions and optimize return on investment.

“This recognition celebrates Net at Work’s role in driving industry growth and innovation,” Kingsley said. “As a trusted provider, we will continue to invest in leading-edge tools and talent that benefit our clients and place us ahead of the curve from both the security and provider perspectives.”

Managed services offers multiple client advantages, including lower capital spending, quicker access to leading-edge IT and reduced cybersecurity threats. Categorizing MSPs based on their business models and areas of expertise helps end users find the right partners to meet their specific needs and challenges in the rapidly evolving technology landscape.

NEW YORK – February 28, 2024 – Safetec of America, a leading manufacturer of infection control, OTC and first aid products, has selected Net at Work for next-generation technology solutions to streamline operations and better serve its customers. One of North America’s largest technology advisors for small-to-medium-sized businesses (SMBs), Net at Work will provide Safetec with Sage X3 Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software hosted in the cloud via Cloud at Work, a Net at Work sister company, the premier cloud platform for Sage. Cloud at Work provides secure cloud services for X3 to enable dynamic scaling, performance, best-in-class availability, turnkey compliance and disaster recovery.

“Our relationship with Net at Work supports Safetec’s continued growth,” said Safetec Chief Financial Officer Andrew Schoeppich. “In partnership with Net at Work, we plan to implement a next-generation ERP system that will allow Safetec to continue to meet all of the FDA’s stringent requirements and speed up the entire production process for our Made-in-America products. The implementation will not only boost our competitive position in the marketplace, but also will help us to help our customers be more successful.”

From its FDA-regulated facilities in Buffalo, New York, Safetec has been making over-the-counter, first aid, personal care, infection and spill control products for 32 years. The manufacturer recognized the limitations within its legacy business system, which lacked integration, required numerous overlapping manual processes and could not support Safetec’s continued growth. With Net at Work and SageX3 solutions, Safetec will automate manufacturing, quality and inventory processes to create new efficiencies.

Schoeppich said the company’s new ERP system will better orchestrate Safetec’s entire production cycle, allowing them to more accurately assess raw material needs, reduce compliance paperwork and better monitor real-time production. With Net at Work and Sage X3, Safetec will:

• Streamline inventory management and the creation of production schedules
• Improve accessibility to the ERP system from anywhere that has an internet connection and from any device
• Reduce the need for standalone, manual Excel spreadsheets
• Optimize inventory levels to prevent shortages or excess inventory
• Strengthen and automate quality control processes
• Improve customer service by providing customers with more accurate information on expected production and shipping dates
• Access and track more detailed and real-time production data
• Digitize production records and other key documents

“Net at Work is honored and grateful that Safetec selected us to guide and empower its next-generation ERP initiative, which underscores the company’s trust in our team to successfully provide this transformative project,” said Samantha Marshall, Net at Work’s Sage X3 practice director. “Both of our companies have been leaders in our respective fields for more than 25 years and share similar customer-driven core values. Net at Work is committed to elevating Safetec to new heights of success with Sage X3.”
