Bill brings a treasure trove of expertise, particularly on the intersection of healthcare and IT. We explore the compliance challenges that small medical practices face and how these hurdles are steering them towards affiliations with larger entities. Bill&#8217;s strategic insights reveal the pivotal role of outsourced compliance partners in today&#8217;s complex regulatory landscape, drawing parallels to how hospitals adeptly navigate these waters. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This episode traverses the evolutionary path of Focus Technology, charting its course from a Value-Added Reseller to a titan in managed services. Their commitment to integrating security into every facet of their offerings, much like a general contractor would ensure every service from the foundation up, is a testament to their forward-thinking ethos. We highlight the adoption of the NIST 800-171 framework, a cornerstone that enabled Focus Technology to adeptly meet diverse industry compliance standards. The conversation underscores the importance of agility and customer-centricity in the constantly shifting realms of IT, risk, and compliance. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This episode was recorded at The Business of Security event as part of N&#8209;ables Business Transformation program in April 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Now That\u2019s It: Stories of MSP Success, dives into the journeys of some of the trailblazers in our industry to find out how they used their passion for technology to help turn Managed Services into the thriving sector it is today.
