He really knows the MSP arena well, as he is also VP of Business Development for the MSP [Nexxtep](http://nexxtep.com).  I was intrigued to have an interview with him because of my belief that IT companies are specialists in process. Clients need process management experts, but that’s usually seen as a management role, and not a tech discipline. Ryan has changed this with his tool: ProcessPlan is awesome software that can be used for planning and managing processes. It makes the process problems tech problems, so the IT managed services providers can leverage them to sell process related Virtual CIO services to their clients. Let’s check out his ideas and have a look at how this great product integrates with Connectwise ([See How ProcessPlan Can Help Your Organization](http://processplan.com/demo/)), which we use both internally and as part of our [vCIO](https://blog.humanizeit.biz/vcio) processes.     ## START GROWING WITH VCIO RELATED RESOURCES FOR FREE [![Delivering Business Focused QBRs](https://www.managedservicesplatform.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/shutterstock_1293596953-Jul-29-2022-08-01-18-70-PM.png)](https://info.managedservicesplatform.com/delivering-business-focused-qbrs-recorded-seminar-landing) #### [Delivering Business Focused QBRs](https://info.managedservicesplatform.com/delivering-business-focused-qbrs-recorded-seminar-landing) ##### ADAM WALTER AT VIRTUAL C You would like to be a high-value business partner in your client’s eyes rather than a basic technology service provider.
