Uncle Marv’s IT Business Podcast: Practical Business Advice for MSPs and IT Professionals
Scaling MSP Operations with Domotz and AI Automation (EP 1052)

I sit down with Dan Spray of Precision IT and Consolidated Consulting to talk about the tools, automation, and standards behind supporting a growing multi-unit MSP operation. We get into Domotz, AI-powered ticket triage, Layer 2 troubleshooting, security monitoring, and why proactive support still matters.

Dan Spray, founder and president of Precision IT and Consolidated Consulting, joins me for part two of our conversation about building and operating a scalable, multi-unit IT services business. Dan shares the technology stack and operational discipline that help his organization support clients across a broad footprint, including HaloPSA, NinjaOne, Meraki, UniFi, Huntress, Petra Security, and Domotz.

Our main focus is how automation, standardized network design, and AI-assisted integrations can help MSPs troubleshoot faster and operate more proactively. Dan explains how his team uses Domotz for Layer 2 visibility and network diagnostics, then connects data from multiple platforms to triage tickets, identify issues, and give technicians a clearer path to resolution before spending valuable time chasing the problem.
