My friend was hosting an event with his university and he sends me a text at 6:00 PM on a Friday night that they need to run a tweetwall at their event for the students who are attending from all over Canada.

As an MSP who is always trying to improve the efficiency of my practice, I am on a constant search for new software tools to make my business run better. As a result of this, I try out a lot of new software. A lot of these companies give me the same feeling that I get when I am out car shopping. I don’t want to name any names, but I am sure everybody who has ever looked for PSA or RMM software has felt this way at one point in time.
