At the event, GFI and QBS’s CEOs Eric Vaughan and Dave Stevinson delivered a joint keynote speech, setting the stage for dramatic announcements benefiting the Managed Services market. During the Summit, Vaughan will present “The Power of Service - How MSPs are Changing the Landscape”, and Stevinson will participate in the panel discussion “Accelerating Digital Growth - Taking the Initiative.” GFI chose the event to announce the general availability of GFI AppManager, a revolutionary solution to power MSPs, including unveiling GFI’s new commercial for GFI AppManager.
