Each episode delivers products, stories, and tips that help the MSP and IT Pro run the business better, smarter, and faster, covering everything from pricing and packaging to operations, tools, and service delivery. You’ll hear candid conversations with working MSP owners, system admins, vendors, and industry leaders who share what’s actually working in the field, including hard lessons, success stories, and the occasional “what not to do.” Topics regularly include managed services best practices, cybersecurity and compliance, Microsoft 365 and cloud, automation and documentation, vendor selection and stack building, plus the day-to-day realities of running a modern IT business. Hosted by longtime IT business owner and podcaster Marvin “Uncle Marv” Bee, the show blends real talk, practical advice, and a lighthearted tone so the MSP and IT Pro behind the network can learn, laugh, and get better every week.

445 What Does Your Contract Say?

Liz was a recent speaker at Techcon Unplugged 2022 in Chicago. She is a technology attorney and specializes in Business and Coporate Law, Intellectual Property and Contracts.

Liz assists MSPs with having a Master Service Agreement (MSA), Service Schedule, Statement of Work, and much more. We discuss some of the "templates" that are floating around on the Internet and were "tweaked" to work with IT service providers.

A Service Level Agreement (SLA) or Statement of Work (SOW) lacks a lot of the protections that come with a properly written MSA.

So, what should you do?

  • Hire a real technology lawyer for your contracts
  • Use the correct language
  • Be specific
  • Have requirements for your customers

Should you get an insurance policy or an MSA? Both!
