ConnectWise Unite, a new management dashboard for technology solutions providers (TSPs) and MSPs, is extending to manage multiple types of applications and infrastructure -- including Amazon Web Services (AWS) -- with broader platform support and a $10 million to $25 million incubator fund for ISVs planned.
ConnectWise unveiled Unite with Cisco last week, and confirmed the extension to AWS and other platforms this morning. Unite solutions are built on the same foundation as CloudConsole, which provides ConnectWise partners with an all-in-one tool for Microsoft Office 365 and Azure cloud services, the company said.
ConnectWise Unite with Cisco costs $10 per managed end-customer business per month. In other words, MSPs that manage 10 different companies will pay $100 total per month for the platform. ChannelE2E is checking to see if or how pricing evolves with the AWS extension.
On the Cisco front, Unite allows partners to access and manage all Cisco Spark, Meraki, Umbrella and Stealthwatch solutions from a single management console. TSPs can sign up for a free trial of ConnectWise Unite with Cisco, which runs through Jan. 1, 2018, the company said.
More moves are coming. "It's not just about connecting Cisco, it's not just about connecting Office 365, Azure, Amazon and more. It's about connecting everything," Bellini said during IT Nation 2017. The effort will involve the ConnectWise Developer Kit -- a tool that will allow partners add to the ConnectWise platform. A pilot program for the kit is coming soon, Bellini said.
ConnectWise has also built a $10 million fund -- it may grow to $25 million -- to help partners and ISVs plug in, Bellini said. We'll push for more details later today.
