DENVER, CO (June 9, 2026)<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Pax8<\/a>, the global AI and cloud Marketplace for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), is set to add inforcer<\/a> to the Pax8 Marketplace in a new collaboration that makes the vendor available through Pax8. With inforcer, managed service providers (MSPs) can more easily consolidate on the Microsoft stack and deliver repeatable services spanning identity, device management, security policy enforcement and AI readiness, helping SMBs adopt Microsoft 365 and Copilot securely, consistently and at scale. Inforcer’s Marketplace launch will take place in this summer, following Pax8\u2019s Beyond 2026 conference.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrerequisite for MSPs today is\u00a0quick\u00a0and responsible\u00a0AI adoption,\u00a0which\u00a0requires firm foundations in security and governance,\u201d said\u00a0Oguo\u00a0Atuanya,\u00a0Corporate Vice President of Vendor Experience\u00a0at Pax8. \u201cBy adding\u00a0inforcer\u00a0to\u00a0the Pax8 Marketplace,\u00a0we\u2019re\u00a0giving our partners a powerful way to standardize Microsoft 365 environments.\u00a0This\u00a0practical enablement\u00a0supports\u00a0the ecosystem\u00a0as\u00a0it\u00a0transitions to managed intelligence\u00a0and\u00a0AI becomes a day-to-day reality for small businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n

As SMBs accelerate AI adoption, MSPs are increasingly required to move beyond point-in-time deployments and provide ongoing governance, compliance and operational guardrails. Recent Pax8 research underscores why: 62% of SMBs report using AI today, yet only 18.5% say they use it extensively across multiple functions<\/a>, highlighting the persistent gap between adoption and operational readiness. In the same research, 84% of SMBs say they would trust an outside technology advisor to help implement AI<\/a>, reinforcing the role MSPs play in turning AI interest into secure, durable business outcomes.<\/p>\n

inforcer helps MSPs operationalize that role by standardizing Microsoft 365 security and data governance across tenants, automating configuration, monitoring compliance in real time and detecting policy drift. The platform also supports MSPs building managed intelligence offerings through capabilities including inforcer\u2019s Copilot Readiness Assessments, Copilot Manager and Shadow AI detection, providing MSPs practical entry points to assess preparedness, govern deployments and monitor usage patterns across customer environments.<\/p>\n

\u201cMSPs need more leverage and reduced complexity,\u201d said Jamie Daum, CEO of inforcer. \u201cJoining the Pax8 Marketplace makes it easier for MSPs to adopt inforcer as the platform underpinning their Microsoft services, standardizing security and governance across customers, proving compliance continuously and building packaged offerings around Copilot readiness and managed AI. We\u2019re excited about what this availability unlocks for Pax8 partners and the SMBs they support.\u201d<\/p>\n

With rapid global adoption over the past 12 months, inforcer has grown to 1,200+ MSP partners, driven by increasing demand to standardize, secure and monetize Microsoft 365 at scale.<\/p>\n
