Reimagining MSP & CSP Growth in the Agentic Era

Unlock the Agentic Era for MSPs & CSPs — Smarter Operations, Proactive Insights, Real Growth

Expanding Your Cloud Options: How CSPs Can Build Multi-Cloud Offerings Without Losing Control

If you talk to any MSP or CSP today, you’ll hear a similar story: the work hasn’t gotten easier — but the expectations certainly have. Customers want faster answers, deeper insights, and a level of proactiveness that simply isn’t possible when you’re juggling 10 different tools and constant cloud updates. 

It’s not that partners don’t care or aren’t trying. The reality is that the pace of change has outgrown the traditional way of operating. 

This blog draws from insights shared during a recent Cloud Assert and Dhisana AI webinar exploring these challenges in depth. 

This is where the idea of the Agentic Era becomes important. It’s a simple way of saying: 

AI is no longer just a tool. It’s becoming a teammate. 

And that shift will define which MSPs and CSPs thrive over the next few years. 

 

Why the Current Way of Working Isn’t Sustainable 

A screenshot of a computerAI-generated content may be incorrect. 

Most partners today face the same obstacles: 

These aren’t small setbacks. They directly affect revenue, margins, and customer trust. 

Everyone wants to be proactive. 

But being proactive requires visibility, context, and time, three things MSPs rarely have. 

 

What the Agentic Era Actually Means 

There’s a lot of noise around AI right now, but the real change isn’t in clever prompts or auto-generated emails. The real shift is that AI can now: 

  • Read and understand updates 
  • Identify patterns in customer behaviour 
  • Spot risks and opportunities 
  • Draft relevant communication 
  • Prepare sellers before customer meetings 
  • And take follow-up actions automatically 

This isn’t the old “workflow automation.” 

This is AI that can think, check, verify, and act — very similar to how a junior team member would support a senior seller. 

It doesn’t replace people. 

It amplifies them. 

 

Where Hybr® and Dhisana AI Fit In 

During the webinar, Ravi and Hari shared something many partners have quietly felt: the tools MSPs use today weren’t built for the reality of 2025. 

So, they approached the problem in a different way. 

Hybr® unifies your daily work billing, provisioning, usage, marketplace, self-service, and automation into one reliable platform. 

Dhisana AI focuses on the revenue side, uncovering opportunities, crafting outreach, preparing meeting insights, and handling follow-ups. 

Individually, both platforms address significant issues. 

Together, they do something more valuable: 

They create one system that sees the whole picture: customer usage, issues, updates, renewals, and signals. It then delivers the right information to the right person at the right time. 

This is what MSPs and CSPs have been missing. 

A visual overview of the customer lifecycle—Lead, Nurture, Meeting, Renewal, and Upsell—showing how AI supports and automates each stage to drive consistent growth.

A More Human Approach to Customer Engagement 

One example from the webinar stood out. A seller walked into a renewal meeting, only to find out the customer had three unresolved tickets. It wasn’t negligence; it was simply a gap in visibility. 

Imagine walking into the same meeting already knowing: 

  • Which tickets are open 
  • What the customer is using 
  • Where they might need help 
  • And what new offers could genuinely benefit them 

It changes the tone of the entire conversation. 

That’s the goal, not just automation, but better relationships built on clarity and preparation. 

 

Turning Expertise into a New Revenue Stream 

Another idea discussed that rarely gets attention in this industry: letting MSPs turn their own domain knowledge into AI-powered solutions 

If you’re strong in education, government, manufacturing, or retail, that expertise becomes a product. 

You can publish your own agents in Hybr’s marketplace, tailored to the industries you already serve. 

It’s a new way to grow without adding more people or onboarding more vendors. 

 

Why This Moment Matters 

Over the next few years, customers will expect more from their partners: faster responses, proactive recommendations, and meaningful insights. The MSPs and CSPs who adopt agentic systems early will naturally outpace those who rely solely on manual workflows. 

It’s not about chasing trends. 

It’s about staying relevant in a world where the expectations are rising faster than teams can keep up.

The Road Ahead 

Cloud Assert and Dhisana AI aren’t just building tools; they’re working together to reshape how partners manage operations and growth. The goal is simple: make it easier for MSPs and CSPs to deliver great service, build stronger relationships, and grow without burning out their teams. 

If the last decade was about “moving to the cloud,” 

The next decade will be about moving smartly within it. 

And that journey starts now. 

For MSPs and CSPs preparing for the next stage of growth, the complete webinar unpacks the strategies behind this transformation
