MSP Confidential: VoIP, Community, and all the Things! with Ray Orsini
Just had a fantastic chat with Ray Orsini, CEO of OITVOIP, diving deep into the world of VoIP, the critical importance of community within the MSP ecosystem, and much more. ...Ray shared his journey from being an MSP owner to transitioning into a vendor, emphasizing how his passion for community and technical innovation drove this shift. We geeked out over camera setups, the transformative role of teleprompters for engaging communication, and the significant impact of community support on MSP success.
Ray recounted his early exposure to technology through Big Brothers Big Sisters, which instilled in him a lifelong desire to give back to the community. This ethos has guided his career, leading to his prominent role in the MSP community and his decision to rebrand himself as a "Community Champion" on LinkedIn. He stressed the symbiotic relationship between MSPs and their communities, highlighting how invaluable community support was in his own MSP journey and how it continues to influence his work at OITVOIP.
We also touched on the evolution of VoIP technology and its increasing significance for MSPs in the wake of the pandemic. Ray pointed out the paradigm shift in the perception and implementation of VoIP solutions, underlining the opportunities it presents for MSPs to enhance their service offerings. He passionately argued for a closer, more cooperative relationship between vendors and MSPs, advocating for open dialogue and mutual support to tackle industry challenges, enhance security postures, and foster innovation.
