building blocksGFI’s Building Blocks Program is all about making Managed Services a practical reality for IT support companies.

A GFI survey found that fifty-one percent of VARs had difficulty showing the value of a managed service to potential customers. Furthermore, over 40% believed that implementing a managed service was too difficult and too time-consuming. We think there’s a better way.

Building Blocks is all about making Managed Services easy, practical and fast. We don’t believe implementing and selling managed services should involve lengthy and time-consuming training, or complex business models and complex software to implement.

We do believe it can be easy. With Building Blocks, you’re able to get going today. Best of all, Building Blocks provides a way for you to market services that your customers can:

  • Easily understand
  • Easily grasp the benefits of
  • Easily buy

Take a look at the resources below and see how the Building Blocks to Managed Services program is helping thousands of IT service providers grow their businesses.
