Autotask Workplace – Why MSPs Choose It

Autotask Work (AWP) is a proven file sync and share service with over 10 years experience serving the needs of SMBs. AWP provides the security, mobility, and control SMBs need when accessing, sharing, and collaborating on files internally and externally.

Why MSPs Choose Autotask Workplace For Their Clients

Secure Collaboration, Built for Business

Users everywhere are increasingly expected to collaborate and get work done anywhere, on any device. Collaboration, however, comes with risks that should be controlled. Sharing data with the wrong person or making a file publicly-accessible by accident can have damaging consequences, including financial loss, reputation damages, and litigation. Autotask Workplace is purpose-built for the needs of today’s digital and mobile workforce.

Work Anywhere, On Any Device

With support for Windows, MacOS, Windows Server, iOS, and Android, eliminate the need for costly legacy tools such as VPN and FTP to drive business productivity. An easy-to-use permission structure, for internal and external sharing, enables users to securely collaborate, utilizing integrations with core business tools such as Microsoft Office 365, G Suite, Active Directory, and Single Sign-On (SSO). Six month versioning, file locking, and file branching streamline version control and boost productivity.

Administer and Control

Configure policy-driven control to mitigate the risk of data loss and improve security, with capabilities to delegate access to internal IT. Integrations with Active Directory and Single Sign On (SSO) automate the on and off boarding of users, streamline permissions management, and secure authentication to the service. Schedule comprehensive reports on system activity to monitor usage and report to customers on alignment with company policies and regulations.

Automate Service Delivery

MSP’s can easily manage devices across their client’s IT estate with a dedicated MSP Portal. Integrations with Autotask PSA automate contracts and billing, with options to automatically generate support tickets. They can quickly configure settings for large numbers of users, including security controls, access permissions, and integrations with key office tools such as Active Directory, Microsoft Office 365, and G Suite. They can also remotely deploy with an RMM technology to allow for streamlined implementation and service management.

Security and Compliance

Over 99.99% up-time alongside HIPAA, GDPR and SOC 2 compliance means Autotask Workplace has a proven track-record of keeping business data safe and available 24/7. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest with 265 bit AES encryption.
