from Business Focus Hosted by First Focus

In this episode, Brendan Ritchie sits down with Ross Sardi to unveil our new service offering 'CORE' and unpack how managed services need to evolve as businesses go all-in on AI, automation, data governance, and security.Rather than bolting AI onto old infrastructure-led MSP models, this conversation flips the thinking completely, starting from a clean slate and designing managed services around outcomes, ROI, and real business enablement.- Why traditional MSP models are no longer fit for purpose- What “AI-first managed services” actually mean in practice- The role of data governance, security, and compliance in AI adoption- How automation and AI should reduce effort, not add complexity- Why enablement and training matter more than tools- How to turn your technology spend into a revenue driver, not just risk mitigation- What businesses need to do to ensure ROI from AI platforms and LLMs- What our CORE offering entails
