Passportal concluded its second largest conference of the summer and it proved to be very educational. The team traveled all the way to Washington, DC for the 2018 edition of the CompTIA ChannelCon hosted in the Marriott Wardman Park,  July 31st – August 2nd.

After attending numerous keynote speeches, participating in the Vendor Fair, and having many insightful conversations with ITSPs and other vendors alike, the Passportal crew discovered one common theme that was discussed amongst the Channel, and it's still a very important one.

As a quality assurance (QA) team, we at Passportal take the required amount of time to test new builds and features in as many ways as possible. Testing this way ensures the quality and functionality of each item released, and quality comes from better understanding of our product. Partner interaction is extremely important to us and we believe it should be the foundation for understanding what we are testing and how it will be used by our partners. 

Quickly how one week goes by. Comic guru Ben reviewed the last of the July newly released comic runs and posted his Part 2/2 of the Best Comic Runs released yesterday.

Passportal will be attending a variety of events this summer – and if you’re in attendance, make sure you say, 'Hello!'

This week concludes the DattoCon conference in Austin, TX, June 18-20th, 2018, and quite frankly, it was one of our best conference’s yet - considering Passportal has been a sponsor for over 100 events. With over 1600 MSP’s in attendance from 25 different countries across the world, we are humbled with how receptive our presence was amongst all MSP's, our partners and other vendors. Just like bat signal in the midnight sky, the spotlight was on us.

Let’s start off by defining SOC 2 (System and Organization Control Requirements). SOC 2 defines requirements for system security, availability, confidentiality, data processing integrity and data privacy in an organization. With ever-increasing frequency, technology service providers are being questioned about these elements.

Since the launch of Passportal’s Ocular™ Documentation solution, our current partners have benefited from the additional value of integrated credential security and password services. However for many who use IT Glue, the effort required to port documentation to Ocular™ was cost prohibitive.  Now partners can lower their costs, while consolidating password security and documentation management via an automated migration tool.
