Hey there, MSP community! Richard Tubb here, coming to you from the Tubbservatory with a roundup of innovative resources that can revolutionise the way you run your IT business. Let’s dive into this week’s top 5 picks!
1. Redstor Microsoft Entra ID Backup
In the world of managed service providers (MSPs), ensuring the security of client data is paramount. That’s why I’m highlighting Redstor’s Entra ID Backup. With Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) becoming a go-to for MSPs, Redstor offers a robust solution for safeguarding your clients’ data.
This platform doesn’t just perform backups; it ensures resilience by securing every critical Entra ID element—user configurations, attributes, roles, and relationships. This means businesses can recover swiftly from disruptions.

2. GTIA State of the Channel 2025 Report
The GTIA State of the Channel 2025 report is hot off the press, revealing key trends shaping our industry. Notably, 53% of MSPs anticipate significant AI-related revenue growth in 2025. However, workforce skill challenges remain, with four in 10 channel firms struggling to find skilled workers. This report is a treasure trove of insights for anyone looking to stay ahead in the channel.
3. Evolved Radio Podcast with Todd Kane and Gerwai Todd
A podcast that caught my ear is Evolved Radio hosted by Todd Kane, with guest Gerwai Todd of TimeZest and PIA. Kane and Todd delve into the transformative role of AI technology in ticket management, highlighting its ability to automate and streamline service desk operations. This is well worth a listen.

4. Team: Getting Things Done with Others by David Allen and Edward Lamont
A book I find myself recommending a lot is “Team: Getting Things Done with Others” by David Allen and Edward Lamont. This groundbreaking book about how to harness the power of collaboration and work most effectively in groups is a must-read for all MSP businesses.

5. Huntress EMEA Roadshow
For our European MSPs, the Huntress EMEA Roadshow is a must-attend event. Kicking off at the iconic Carlsberg Brewery in Copenhagen on April 10, 2025, and heading to Amsterdam on May 20, this is your chance to engage with cybersecurity experts from Huntress. It’s not just about learning—it’s also an opportunity to network over a beer!
