Roaring Penguin Software Announces Integration with Autotask® PSA Software

May 13, 2010 - PRLog -- 13 May 2010 – Ottawa, Ontario, Canada – Roaring Penguin Software Inc., maker of the acclaimed CanIt line of anti-spam solutions, today announced the completion of their anti-spam software integration with Autotask, the worldwide leader in hosted IT Business Management Software.

The new CanIt Extension for Autotask allows MSPs to provision and bill their anti-spam users from within Autotask, greatly streamlining their business operations. MSPs can now easily monitor how many e-mail addresses have been seen for each domain filtered through CanIt, and automatically handle the calculations needed for batch invoicing within Autotask."  The CanIt Extension for Autotask is available  free of charge.

"Roaring Penguin's use of our API validates Autotask as an open and extensible business automation platform that solves the real needs of MSPs,” said Autotask CEO Bob Godgart. “We are pleased to work with forward-thinking software vendors like Roaring Penguin, who help us achieve our goal of helping MSPs to run their businesses better."

Roaring Penguin has focused on integrating CanIt with the Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) tools that most MSPs use. Among the CanIt-RMM integrations already completed are:  Level Platforms, Kaseya , Nable and itControl Suite – all of which also are tightly integrated with Autotask. The completion of the Roaring Penguin Extension for Autotask expands the single “command and control center” that MSPs can use to protect, monitor and manage their clients’ networks.

"Fighting Spam is a key deliverable for every MSP," said David Skoll, Roaring Penguin’s President and CTO.  “Being able to remotely monitor and manage a client’s email communications infrastructure gives our MSPs and their clients peace of mind, especially when you’re talking about the negative impacts of malicious emails and spam  Our new integration with Autotask is a big step in reducing the costs that MSPs face in delivering anti-spam."
