@SFleisher is sharing some tips on incorporating Windows 11 compatibility into your QBRs.- We want to hear from you! We have two surveys making their rounds and we’d love for our Community members to participate. One focuses on Backup Plans for Backup Radar. While the other is looking for feedback on what analytics are most useful for you to share in your QBRs.
- We have so many great ideas coming through our Product Ideas page. Make sure you check them out and vote on the features you want to see in our products.
Product Update Highlights
Client Engagement for Lifecycle Manager—The latest changes to the Client Engagement portal for Lifecycle Manager were made this month.
Improvements include -
- A new interface: We've simplified the menu options for easier access to client engagement features and reorganized the display of the client page, prioritizing features that focus on client interactions.
- Marketplace / Infrastructure Protection: We've also centralized disposal and asset protection under a new menu item called Marketplace, and renamed Warranty Services for server and network device coverage to Infrastructure Protection. Infrastructure Protection and Workstation Assurance will now be on their own pages instead of combined together as Warranties in-app. New name, same great taste!
- Roadmaps + Initiatives: These have been consolidated and neatly organized as a simple, filterable Kanban project board under the Roadmaps tab.
- Client Activities: In the client view of Lifecycle Manager, under 'Activities' on the left-hand side, we've added a new area for creating tasks, logging meeting notes, and storing contact details.
ControlMap Releases: In May, we released a number of new updates to ControlMap. All the release information is on our Product Updates page.
June 2024 Quoter Product Update
June Happenings:
- If you’ve had your head buried in work this past month, you may not have seen that we hosted a huge product-focused event on June 20th, Innovate. I created an Innovate Roundup Article that gives you the inside scoop on our announcements. You can also catch the recording here: https://www.scalepad.com/lp/event-2024-innovate-recording/
- Will you be attending ChannelCon at the end of July? If you’ll be there, please let me know! I will be speaking (EEK) but would love to do a Community meet up for drinks or coffee one day. Shoot me a message or reach out to me directly at andrea.ayala@scalepad.com!

“Secure Dan” is back with another Compliance Compass (WOOHOO!). This time, he explains why there are so many Frameworks and why we continue to expand the list of Cybersecurity Compliance Frameworks for ControlMap.

- Antwine Jackson (President & Founder, Enitech) and Luis Giraldo discuss change and how you can be a positive force for change for your clients.
- Juan Fernandez (Channel Chief, SuperOps) comes on the podcast to talk about the “Modern day MSP.” re we still turning the same wrenches? Or have things changed for the better?
- Tim Coach (Channel Chief) - from BBQ to MSP, see how these two connect the dots between two things near and dear to their heart.
- Nathan Taylor (Senior Director, Sourcepass) and Luis Giraldo have an agenda-less discussion about tech, business drivers, and perhaps get an update on how the integration into Sourcepass has been going.
- Join on June 28th for a discussion with Frank Branch, our MLIS, BAS, Data & AI Engineering Manager at ScalePad for a follow up from the Innovate event. In this discussion with Frank, explore below the surface on topics like machine learning, data warehousing, natural language processing, and perhaps a touch of AI.

Interested in a ScalePad Product
Smash this link to book a demo for any of our products. BTW this is not your average demo as these are delivered by our Rocket Scientists (a.k.a. Solutions Engineers), who are not quota-carrying and have some of the deepest experience in the MSP space. They will show you how we can help your specific business and go as technically deep as you need to showcase real product value.
Until next time!
