Why Kiwi IT Leaders Should Pay Attention to N-able Inform Sydney & Melbourne

As the pressure ramps up for MSPs and IT service providers across Aotearoa to do more with less, improve security outcomes, and grow recurring revenue, events like N-able Inform Sydney and Melbourne offer more than just technical insights – they offer a competitive edge.

Even if you’re not using N-able solutions today, this event is a chance to see where the industry is heading, how others are building value, and whether you’re leaving money on the table. This isn’t about hype – it’s about practical, commercial takeaways that you can apply back in your business.

Why It’s Worth Your Time

1. Real-World Use Cases: How to Build Profit Into Protection

Featured: Cove Data Protection

Kiwi IT partners know backup is non-negotiable – but margins are tight and clients don’t always value what they don’t see. N-able’s Cove Data Protection brings a cloud-first backup model with real simplicity and reliability – and more importantly, a pricing model built for partners to turn a better margin.

What you’ll take away:

• • How to position data protection as a managed service (not a line item)
  • A cloud-first architecture that reduces infrastructure headaches
  • Why Cove is helping partners replace legacy backup tools and win new deals

This is key if you’re offering Microsoft 365 backups, need better restore capabilities, or want to offer backup-as-a-service without babysitting local appliances.

2. Get Clarity on RMM Strategy: N-central vs N-sight

Remote monitoring and management (RMM) isn’t new, but with so many tools available, too many MSPs are either underutilising their platform or are stuck with a tool that doesn’t scale.

This session goes deeper than a product walkthrough. It compares N-central and N-sight RMM – two platforms that give partners the power of automation, compliance policy management, patching, and multi-tenancy.

What’s in it for NZ partners:

• • How to build service tiers and improve client stickiness
  • Reduce engineer touchpoints through automation and scripting
  • Understand where you can add services like compliance audits or patch-as-a-service

If your techs are burning hours on routine tasks, this session helps reframe your operations as a revenue lever.

3. Focus on Profit, Not Just Product: Building a Modern MSP Model

One of the core sessions digs into the heart of what partners are asking: How do I grow profitability without burning out my team or over-complicating my stack?

N-able is championing a vision of MSP growth that puts platform efficiency and service packaging at the centre. They’ll share proven frameworks from other markets and examples of how partners are:

• • Charging more with less noise from clients
  • Productising compliance and cybersecurity
  • Aligning internal tools to recurring revenue streams

In short: If your team is spending more time on noise than revenue, this session will help you course-correct.

“But I’m Not an N-able Partner…”

Even better. This is your chance to benchmark, challenge your assumptions, and hear how others are building their businesses. The sessions don’t assume you’re already on the N-able train – and that’s valuable in itself.

You’ll walk away understanding:

• • What modern platform-driven MSPs look like
  • Where your current tools may be limiting scale or margin
  • How to better position your own roadmap – even if you stay with your current vendors

N-able’s open ecosystem philosophy means they’re not trying to own your entire stack – they’re helping partners optimise the tools they choose to work with.

Why Now?

• • Cyber risk is high, and clients are looking for advice — but only if it translates to business value
  • Headcount pressure is real, and automation is no longer a “nice-to-have”
  • Recurring revenue growth is about packaging and positioning, not just technology

This event is a window into how top-performing MSPs are operating – and gives Kiwi partners the chance to compare, learn, and adapt with confidence.

Final Word

If you’re leading a services business, managing a portfolio of clients, or even just exploring what’s next – N-able Inform Sydney and Melbourne gives you the strategic and tactical insight to stay sharp. You’ll meet peers, see tech that matters, and return with ideas that could shape your next quarter’s revenue stream.
