It's not easy to offer a small company the services it requires

AVG Technologies has officially launched AVG CloudCare, a product that’s designed to help IT resellers and managed services providers (MSPs) in offering efficient security solutions to small businesses.

The problem with providing cyber protection services to small businesses is that they don’t have the necessary financial resources for what they require. Also, the tools that could help them are usually developed for enterprises, not small companies.

This is where AVG CloudCare steps in. Resellers and MSPs are provided with a free easy-to-manage administrative platform which allows them to remotely operate the AVG security products installed on their customers’ devices.

For now, AVG CloudCare can be used to manage applications such as AVG AntiVirus and AVG Content Filtering, but additional services, such as backup, are likely to be added in the future.

Furthermore, resellers don’t have to estimate right from the beginning how many customers they’ll have and pay up-front fees. Instead, only the services that are actually utilized are charged for and individual components can be activated and deactivated at any time.
