Xirrus today announced an enhanced Managed Service Provider (MSP) partner program featuring CommandCenter, a new control function that radically simplifies the ability of MSPs to offer Wi-Fi-as-a-Service (WaaS) to their customers. CommandCenter, included free of charge with the Xirrus Management System for MSPs, significantly simplifies and speeds up the activation and provisioning process for new customer installations to maximize revenue generation and reduce deployment cost and overhead. MSPs can create customer accounts instantly, no longer having to stage customer networks prior to provisioning, thus reducing time to deployment and inventory levels.
“Our managed customers rely on us to address their application, security and networking needs, and reliable Wi-Fi stands as an integral part of that equation. In the past, delivering WaaS has presented a number of challenges, including the rapidly evolving nature of both technology and customer requirements,” said Roman Avanesyan, practice director, microsoft productivity and infrastructure, SADA Systems. “Xirrus’ cloud-based MSP solution with CommandCenter enables us to deploy and manage customer Wi-Fi networks very easily and in a very flexible manner, empowering us to deliver new services to our clients and grow our business in ways we never could before.”
MarketsandMarkets forecasts the managed services market to grow from $107 billion in 2014 to $193 billion by 2019, creating significant opportunities for MSPs to acquire new customers, expand the markets they service and increase revenue. Success depends on simple, reliable and cost effective service offerings that enable MSPs to differentiate from competitors. Xirrus CommandCenter streamlines MSP operations, empowering partners to independently create and maintain cloud-managed WaaS offerings for their customers regardless of location or size.

- Create and manage an unlimited number of customer accounts and locations
- Add new customer accounts and activate instantly
