    The best video out there for HaloPSA implementation! Thank you for putting these together. A question for you. If we wanted to show covered users either by Contract (covered users) or by Line item, how do we list those? I was unable to locate the $VARIABLE to do so. Is there a setting or place to incorporate that? We want to show for example, Managed User line item and then list those users on the invoice for the customer. TIA!

      When you sign up for a trial you get access, but if you change it you won't be able to change it back. If you've signed up anytime after AI was initially released you'll have the configuration, if you signed up before you won't. I mentioned it's not"official" yet, because they haven't yet added in the ability to select their connection unless you leave the settings alone. You MIGHT convince Support to get someone high enough who knows the information login to your instance and configure it, if you point out the Release Notes in 2.146 that talks about AI Improvements and mentions hosted customers get access.

      I had one and we talked through what was actually needed. You should document the process and policy but the state of configuration is not really helpful to document. In the end at the MSP we basically would have the same conversation, determine the reason behind its necessity and then we'd either charge labor to do it if they still need it or provide a solution to do it for us. For example when asked for network topology map we instead sold Domotz to them for ongoing monitoring and performance trackig of the network and the ability to automatically build the topology map.

In fact the biggest reason we focus on cloud is to shift even more management risk from us to Microsoft or other cloud vendors. Can you post the blog where you mentioned discussing MSP economics?

    Thank you for the deep dive into the topic! What I still haven't sorted out, is the asset number thing. I think asset numbers should be an identifier that - in an ideal world - matches the clients inventory number. Any thoughts on this? Just filling it out with the ninjaOne's hostname doesn't seem to bring me closer to this objective... The tips regarding dedicated top level and dedicated client as control bucket are worth its weight in gold.

    • @risingtidegroup
      @risingtidegroup 4 місяці тому

      It's really up to you on how you want to use it, the key is what value you want to see as the title of the asset. In most cases this will be the hostname/computername of the computer (for assets that are computers), but you can make this whatever you want, including swapping out other Key Fields onto a different field such as the Name or even a brand new asset field that's used for tracking the customer inventory number.

    Automation has to be considered as part of a wider strategy. There are plenty of places where automation would enormously improve efficiency, consistency and security but this has to be balanced against the time and resource that it takes to implement said automation. I think a lot of people get very hung up on the seven ITIL principles and forget that the seventh principle is 'Optimise and Automate'. Optimisation can mean a lot of different things and, whilst it often includes automation, doesn't always. Principle i) Focus on Value and ii) Start Where You Are help inform the opportunities you have for improvement. Automating for the sake of it and slavishly following principle vii) just tells me that you aren't thinking about the whole business (principle vi) Think and Work Holistically). With that said, I personally think that if you are having to make a choice between automation and making somebody redundant then your business strategy is flawed and you need to take another look. Automation can serve as a tool to build value and improve efficiency within your organisation and if you plan it carefully and iteratively then it doesn't even need to cost much in terms of time or resource. Making generalised statements about nuanced topics can be corrosive and I completely agree with your position.

    Of all of the great Halo videos available, this one is going to be the most impactful for me on time savings. This is a very creative use of Custom Fields. I did not previously have a template method for my agreements and have been too busy to address it. My previous process took all of the joy out of renewing my commitment to my customers. It was tedious, to put it mildly. I spent the entire weekend re-designing my sales process around the methods in this video. I may have lost a weekend, but this is going to pay back that time exponentially when renewals and new client setups take place.

    How to teach critical thinking is our peer group one big thing this quarter. The issue of tech time and payment is an interesting one… I would like to send everybody to it, but they would not all be able to go at once. Would they appreciate it more if they paid for it themselves? Probably, but I can’t require them to do that. It would need to be employer sponsored at a nominal fee and enable them to attend at different times, keeping time zone issues in mind if live.

      You've definitely highlighted another "complexity" of the scenario. I was talking about in the dimension of someone who would be looking to improve themselves and so it's a pretty straight cause and affect when Money is exchanged. The situation of someone gifting them (or here an employer paying for them) to attend/go potentially diminishes the interaction and commimtent from the person actually going, even if they still show up because they have to. 🙂

      There is a setting inside of Users > General Settings that'll define if you can have a user without an email address ("Email field is mandatory for new Users"). Regarding the invoices, I think this should be sent back to Halo to have them review and see if they can extend the invoices (documents and other areas) to the linked user the way tickets and assets are. Even when doing organization by Top Level we can't grant access to invoices as it's just a simple checkbox.
