The AI revolution is here — great! Now what? If you’re a managed service provider (MSP), you and your clients may just be dipping their toes into the AI waters and could stand to do more, so you don’t risk getting left behind. Pax8 recognizes this need and has launched Pax8 Data and AI Guided Growth, which offers structured, hands-on enablement so you can move confidently in the world of data and AI.
Why Did We Start This Program?
Maybe you’re wondering why you might need another enablement program. Fair question! We all have lots to do.
Essentially, small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) face significant barriers to adopting AI as a productivity tool. They get hit with things that just don’t affect enterprises in the same way, such as high costs, a lack of technical expertise and poor scalability. Imagine you’re a company of 30 vs. a company of 3,000. It’s a lot easier to justify an investment in learning new technology when that many more people will see a benefit, as opposed to just a handful.
That’s where you come in. As your clients’ trusted technical adviser, you can get them to where they need to be to use AI in a way that benefits them directly and speaks to their unique needs. And we’re here to get you there, through this program.
What Does the Pax8 Data and AI Guided Growth Program Entail?
This program is designed for anyone newer to AI solutions — maybe you’ve just barely started, or you haven’t at all. Either way, it provides clear, guided learning paths that take you from your first data strategy conversation to delivering real business outcomes using tools like Microsoft Copilot, Azure AI Platform and Power Platform.
The growth journey is built around five practical, results-driven phases:
- Understand best practices
- Build it your way
- Get buy-in
- Implementation
- Inspect what you expect
Along the way, you’ll learn to lead with data strategy, deploy ready-made AI tools and eventually shape your own offerings. Remember, it’s your business, and this story is yours to tell! By the end of the program, our goal is not just that you understand data and AI, but that you’re using it to fuel growth, stand out in the market and unlock what’s next.
How It Works
It begins with an assessment that will assign you a profile — Strategy, Operations, Technical, Sales or Go-to-Market — to tailor your Guided Growth journey. Each of these phases is tailored to guide you through a comprehensive learning journey, from foundational knowledge to practical implementation and continuous improvement.
Along the way, you’ll gain the ability to have a business transformation conversation with your clients that focuses on data strategy and moving to utilizing out-of-the-box AI solutions like Copilot. The goal is that you’ll continue growing to a stage where you’re comfortable with Copilot and can start moving to more advanced solutions like Copilot Studio and Power Platform — so you can deliver true business transformation to your clients.
The vendor tracks are as follows:
- Copilot
- Power BI Fabric
- Power Automate
- Azure AI Foundry
- Azure AI/ML
