smarter is a constant aim and the most successful organisations find the balance between people, process and technology. Pia is a dedicated solution for IT MSPs that works with their existing service desk tools that will turbo-charge their operations and allow their resources to be channelled and ultimately improve the bottom line – we’re delighted to be working closely together as partners.” Matt Takhar, EVP of strategy and growth at Pia, added: “There were several common themes at Network Group events last year and across the MSP sector: staff retention, lack of technical resources and the need to use AI. Pia has arrived at a perfect time. aiDesk helps bring vast efficiencies to your technical team by providing an automated assistant to everyone of your technicians. This allows you to free up resources for fee earning work and truly deliver ‘more with less’ and provide a great consistent customer service.”
