A few times a year, we get together with our national peer group of fellow MSPs in person to share what’s working, talk through what we’re learning, compare notes, and help each other keep improving our businesses. We just got back from our latest get together in Chicago.

Running an MSP can be incredibly rewarding, but it’s also an industry that moves fast. Between new technologies, evolving cybersecurity risks, operational decisions, team growth, and the occasional “my printer is personally attacking me” situation, it helps to have a group of people who truly understand the business.

These meetings are part strategy session, part accountability group, part idea exchange, and, if we’re being honest, part therapy session.

I always leave with new ideas, better perspective, and a reminder that none of us are figuring this out alone.

Grateful for this group and the willingness everyone has to show up, be honest, share openly, and help each other get better.

The most useful AI projects usually do not start with, “How can we use AI?”

They start with, “Where is our team losing time every week?”

That is the approach we take at Cloud Cover. We look at the work that slows your team down, creates avoidable costs, or depends too heavily on manual effort — then we help design smarter, more practical workflows using AI and automation. The focus is on solutions that are practical, secure, customized, easy to understand, and built around real business outcomes.

For many businesses, AI is not about replacing people. It is about helping good people spend less time on repetitive work and more time on the things that matter most.

Cloud Cover designs custom AI solutions and automations for Ohio businesses. Save time, reduce manual work, improve efficiency, and deploy AI securely.

Even Artemis got locked out of Outlook email.

So apparently you can build a spaceship, leave the planet, and still end up needing IT support.
Proof that no matter how advanced the mission is, technology still finds a way to keep us humble.

The good news? Our techs help clients with the same Outlook lockouts every day here on Earth—just usually without mission control, moon dust, or the pressure of disappointing NASA.

You can leave Earth, but you still can’t escape IT problems. We have your back, here on earth.
