Offering cloud services has become imperative for managed service providers (MSPs) to stay up to date with client needs, especially as AI becomes more integrated with workflows. Empyrion Technologies knew this well, having been in the industry since 2006, supporting clients across industries like manufacturing and construction.
As demand for cloud services surged, Empyrion recognized the need to expand its capabilities to stay competitive. This meant finding a partner with an innovative mindset.
“We have years of server experience, but the cloud is a totally different animal,” said Taylor Maguire, General Manager, Empyrion Technologies.
How Pax8 Helped
Empyrion’s journey with Pax8 began at an industry event, where they connected with the Pax8 team and saw firsthand the value of their partner-first approach. That initial meeting sparked a shift. Empyrion moved its business to Pax8 to gain the cloud expertise and enablement they were missing.
The partnership empowered Empyrion to grow in new ways. They joined a Pax8-led Azure Peer Group, collaborating with other MSPs to refine pricing strategies and go-to-market plans. The opportunity to learn alongside others in the region gave Empyrion the insight they needed to scale their cloud offerings with confidence. Pax8 also offered support to augment their Microsoft offerings with cybersecurity solutions tailored to client needs.
“The support we received from the Pax8 team in building out our Azure business has been really helpful in terms of pricing and market understanding,” Maguire said. “They helped us scale quickly.”
Empyrion also leaned into Pax8 technical and sales-focused events, including Bootcamps and Mission Briefings. These sessions helped their deployment team sharpen cloud migration strategies and better assess client needs.
“It’s been so valuable for our project deployment team to have access to Pax8’s learning opportunities,” Maguire said. “The material has strengthened our ability to assess clients’ needs, and it has provided insight into cloud migration.”
