Cyflow at Build IT LIVE 2026: How MSPs Can Connect with 500 Executives and Channel Influencers to Scale with Automation

Introduction

Are you an MSP owner or CTO aiming to scale your business using automation and channel partnerships? Connecting with the right MSP executives and channel influencers is often a bottleneck. The Build IT LIVE 2026 conference presents a unique opportunity for MSPs to engage with over 500 decision-makers. Cyflow's role as a Bronze Sponsor is a gateway for MSPs to deepen their knowledge of IT automation, endpoint management, and channel growth strategies. This article breaks down how you can capitalize on this event to solve common scaling challenges.

Why MSPs Struggle to Scale with Automation and Channel Partnerships

Scaling an MSP is complex due to several factors:

• Fragmented IT Operations: Many MSPs still rely on manual patch management and endpoint monitoring, leading to inefficiencies.
• Limited Access to Decision-Makers: Without direct connections to channel influencers, growth opportunities stagnate.
• Lack of Integrated Tools: Disparate systems for remote access, patch management, and network monitoring slow down service delivery.

For example, a 2023 MSP benchmarking report by Datto found that 62% of MSPs identified lack of automation as a primary barrier to growth.

Do this now: Audit your current MSP operations and partnership channels to identify gaps in automation and influencer connections.

Implement IT Automation for MSPs to Reduce Operational Overhead

Automation is key to scaling MSP operations efficiently. Focus on these core areas:

Automation Area	Tool Example	Benefit
Patch Management & Remediation	Cyflow Patch AI	40% faster vulnerability fixes
Remote Access & Management	NinjaRMM	Real-time issue resolution
Network Monitoring & Alerting	Datto RMM	Proactive downtime prevention

Step-by-step:

1. Automate patch deployment using AI-driven tools like Cyflow Patch AI.
2. Centralize remote access with secure, monitored platforms such as NinjaRMM.
3. Set up proactive alerts via Datto RMM to detect anomalies before they escalate.

Do this now: Identify one manual process and pilot an automation tool at your MSP this quarter.

Adopt Endpoint Management Best Practices to Enhance Security and Efficiency

Effective endpoint management reduces security risks and improves client satisfaction.

• Standardize Configurations: Use templates within tools like Cyflow Endpoint Manager to ensure consistency.
• Automate Compliance Checks: Schedule regular audits to enforce security policies.
• Integrate with IT Operations Log Management: Combine endpoint data with logs to accelerate incident response.

Real-world insight: A mid-sized MSP in Texas reduced endpoint security breaches by 35% within 4 months using Cyflow's management suite.

Do this now: Develop an endpoint management checklist incorporating automation and log integration.

Strengthen Remote Access and Management for Better Client Support

Reliable remote access is essential for quick troubleshooting and client satisfaction.

• Deploy solutions with multi-factor authentication (MFA) and session recording.
• Train your team on best practices to avoid security breaches.
• Monitor remote sessions and maintain detailed logs for compliance.

Example: Using BeyondTrust Remote Support, a New York MSP cut average resolution time by 30% while enhancing security.

Do this now: Review your current remote access tools; consider upgrading to solutions with advanced security features.

Enhance Network Monitoring and Alerting to Prevent Downtime

Proactive network monitoring enables MSPs to detect and resolve issues before clients notice.

• Implement agents that monitor bandwidth, latency, and device health.
• Set threshold-based alerts to trigger immediate action.
• Use AI analytics to identify patterns and predict failures.

Case study: An MSP in California avoided $100,000 in client losses by catching network anomalies early using Datto RMM's AI-driven alerts.

Do this now: Configure your network monitoring system to send real-time alerts to your operations center.

Improve Patch Management and Remediation Cycles for Security Compliance

Timely patching mitigates vulnerabilities and maintains client trust.

• Automate patch scans and deployments with Cyflow Patch AI.
• Prioritize patches based on CVSS scores and exploit availability.
• Document remediation actions within IT operations logs.

Do this now: Schedule a monthly patch review meeting and assign remediation responsibilities.

Prevent Operational Silos through Integrated IT Operations Log Management

Logs provide valuable insights but often remain siloed.

• Use centralized log management tools like Splunk or Cyflow's AI-driven logging platform.
• Correlate logs from endpoints, network devices, and applications.
• Analyze logs regularly to detect security incidents and performance issues.

Do this now: Implement a trial of a centralized log management system and create reports that highlight operational trends.
