[146] Growth and Success Advice From The Wizard of MSP Data Migrations

TubbTalk: The Podcast for Managed Service Providers

In this episode, Richard Tubb speaks to Michael Lawson, who has over

15 years of experience in working with MSPs. A seasoned startup founder, he’s recently built an exciting new platform for MSPs. Movebot is designed to make data migration easier, particularly at scale.

Michael tells Richard how he came up with the idea for Movebot, the tools it integrates with and the tech requirements for MSPs to run it effectively for themselves and their clients.

Richard asks Michael to explain the types of data Movebot migrates and how to use it for data merges, as well as giving some examples of how real-life MSP use the tool in their businesses.

Michael also talks through how Movebot transfers live data and how Movebot helps its global MSP clients to stay data compliant and up to date with legislation changes in their home countries.

Richard asks Michael what Movebot’s tech support and outsourcing offerings look like, the pricing structure, and his plans for Couchdrop and Movebot in 2024 and beyond.
