GFI MAX RemoteManagement is an IT managed services software solution that makes it easy to stay on top of customers' servers, desktops, networks, hardware, software, inventory tracking, automated server and desktop maintenance tools. More than 3000 IT support companies, VARs and MSPs use GFI MAX RemoteManagement to maximize revenues, minimize costs and deliver exceptional customer service. It can be installed and set up in 10 minutes and requires no training, hardware, contracts, or minimum commitments.

The integration enables GFI MAX RemoteManagement clients to be automatically or manually mapped to existing companies (managed groups) in ConnectWise. Time and notes added to service tickets in the GFI MAX RemoteManagement dashboard are shown in ConnectWise. Tickets can be automatically updated when a customer's system check passes, and when a check fails, a service ticket can be manually or automatically created for that server.

"We see systems monitoring and incident management as two of the key capabilities for partners to deliver the highest levels of service in an efficient and profitable manner. By integrating the GFI MAX Remote Management and ConnectWise products we believe we will be offering our partners the ability to capitalize on their investment in both products and present a more compelling proposition to their customers that will help them to win more business and serve their customers better. The GFI MAX integration provides industry-leading capability and, as usual, requires no software installation or upgrades by our partners, who will have access to the full capability of the integration from the day it is launched," said Dr. Alistair Forbes, Chief Technology Officer, GFI MAX.

"The combined feature set of GFI MAX RemoteManagement and ConnectWise PSA software is one of the most effective ways to automate and support a managed services-based business today," said Arnie Bellini, ConnectWise CEO. "This integration is a great addition to our network of on-demand tools, knowledge, services and support for the IT Nation."
