Why organizations replace their current provider with Ascend
Organizations usually come to Ascend Technologies with a provider already in place, and they switch when that provider stops at closing tickets. Ascend puts IT, security, and AI governance with one team, so there’s no question about who owns a problem when something breaks. Ascend holds the Microsoft Security Threat Protection Specialization and has been named to both the CRN MSP 500 Elite 150 and the Channel Futures MSP 501. (See our recognition and credentials.)
