ByMonica Caraway January 21, 2014April 17, 2015

Welcome to the show!

On our first-ever episode, we welcome SMB Nation’s Harry Brelsford and Cloud Nine’s Lars Andersson.

Harry gives an outline of what SMB Nation has in store for 2014. He discusses their Emerging Technology Tour, which Karl is a part of, and updates listeners on their Peer groups with Josh Peterson.

Harry also discusses SMB Nation’s Co-Op, which is focusing quite a bit of energy on matching SMB Community members with customers who need help ahead of the end of XP support in April.

Lars Andersson shares how instrumental SMB Nation has been for his business. He notes his initial involvement with them where he had attended a conference SMB Nation held that included a mobile test environment where they were administering the Small Business Specialists Exam.

Karl also shares some updates on the many live presentations he will be giving around the country this year – with a handy site
set up for those who want all the details here: whereintheworldiskarl.com.

Robert explains that being a reseller allows MSPs to offer clients better compliance and control options, improved dynamic search capabilities, as well as a host of other progressive options.

HIPAA | Karl Palachuk | Managed Services

HIPAA and HaaS

ByMonica Caraway March 4, 2014April 29, 2015 HIPAA, Karl Palachuk, Managed Services

April Sage, from Online Tech, joins us to discuss HIPAA compliance – a topic our Odd Tuesdays audience has been asking more and more about (Follow Karl’s HIPAA Pinterest Board).

April encourages MSPs to embrace the notion of HIPAA compliance because trying to work against or get around the regulations can cause a lot of headaches. She says it is a good idea to become familiar with the Business Associates Agreement – a contract that outlines the accountabilities in the chain of trust and what the flow of responsibilities are. She notes that the Department of Human Services has a good example of what that agreement should look like (See link here).

Rayanne Buchianico joins us in her debut Oddballs segment. She discusses how to record Hardware as a Service (HaaS) in QuickBooks. She outlines four key points:

1) What to record right after you buy the equipment

2) How to set up the rental income accounts

3) How to track associated costs

4) How to retire the item at the end of the lease term
