Joey PinzHOST
I had three great conversations.
Joey PinzHOST
Chance Weaver from Pax8 had a great opportunity to speak to Chance before.
Joey PinzHOST
Really great insight.
Joey PinzHOST
AI adoption means nothing without business results.
10 MINS LATER
Chance WeaverGUEST
I still think we have a long way to go, but where a lot of MSPs are struggling, I'm having a lot of
Joey PinzHOST
fun.
Joey PinzHOST
Yeah, Pax8 does a great job with...
Joey PinzHOST
With work with MSPs, the Beyond events have gotten so big and so helpful.
SamHOST
yeah yeah i think her case her case out um since 2021 was uh explicit content deepfake uh of of sorts which is obviously unfortunately very common um at the moment so i'm sure she i'm sure she'd like ownership of her face and her voice as would we all and you would think would be customary but unfortunately that's not really the world we live in at the moment and if you are someone chronically online it is something that you need to be aware of if you're a public figure um because people will and as you say as the world becomes more divided politically um these will be things that will be used um against anyone regardless of your political opinions things like you know deep fake explicit material and things are not anything that anyone should have made of them
David SavageHOST
Talking of regulation, whilst I've been here, Pax8 have announced an alliance of industry leaders, their competitors, their peers across tech.
David SavageHOST
They work specifically in the MSP and small to medium-sized business arena, but they have an alliance that is now going to hold them to account, which is interesting because it's independent.
David SavageHOST
It's self-regulation of a form.
Dave SobelHOST
Usage and spending are metered per user and per customer with hard caps that cut consumption off.
Dave SobelHOST
The partner sets the price and billing runs through the Pax8 account it already has.
Dave SobelHOST
Alongside it comes 8Bot, a managed AI co-worker that partners deploy and supervise through 8OS.
Dave SobelHOST
Limited early access is open, with general availability planned for early 2027.
Robert DuttHOST
The initiative is designed to help IT service providers build secure, responsible, and repeatable AI services for small and medium-sized business.
Robert DuttHOST
It was previewed at ChannelCon earlier this year and is being introduced formally today at Pax8 Beyond in Copenhagen.
Robert DuttHOST
Pax8 is the charter member, with Rob Ray serving as chair, and the founding participants represent a substantial cross-section of the industry.
Robert DuttHOST
They include CrowdStrike, Synet, Microsoft, NinjaOne, Rev.io, SourcePass, New Charter, Lyra, and F1 Information Technologies.
Robert DuttHOST
The alliance will focus on four areas.
Rich FreemanHOST
And, uh, I actually looked this up a little bit before.
Rich FreemanHOST
Approximately three months ago, Eric, we dedicated this portion of the show to, uh, some research from Pax8, their, their latest SMB AI Pulse Report.
Rich FreemanHOST
Here we are again, um, doing the same thing, um, because just a few days ago, they published the Q3 version of the SMB AI Pulse Report.
Rich FreemanHOST
Um, it's become must-reading for me.
Rich FreemanHOST
There's always something, uh, interesting, uh, in there.
Rich FreemanHOST
And so here, here are a few things that I found interesting in the latest report.
Rich FreemanHOST
And before I get into them, I'll quickly say everything I'm about to talk about applies to what Pax8 calls AI-engaged SMBs.
Rich FreemanHOST
And so an AI-engaged SMB is basically an SMB that is actively, regularly using AI as opposed to not using it at, at all, obviously, or just experimenting with it.
John ParkerPANELIST
Absolutely.
TerryPANELIST
Well, I think, too, that you've also got, you know, even if it's something that you're sub- you're legitimately authorized to get access to, right? Um, and then you think about, though, for example, I may have, um, admin type rights through a portal, right? Pax8 as an example.
TerryPANELIST
I can go into the Pax8 site, and I can do all these different things.
TerryPANELIST
I've never done anything in there other than take training and poke around, right?
John ParkerPANELIST
[laughs]
Dan AlbaumHOST
And really excited to dive into this topic of leadership and marketing and what are the ingredients to really differentiate and to lift teams to higher performance with Carolyn Goals.
Dan AlbaumHOST
And she's the former chief marketing officer at Pax8, a leading cloud commerce marketplace.
Dan AlbaumHOST
But she also has extensive experience in leadership roles at Microsoft and Adobe.
Dan AlbaumHOST
And she has learned so much across her career about this gap that exists between a good strategy and a great outcome.
Robert DuttHOST
The partner-first announcement covers North America, although the precise Canadian availability of individual capabilities still need to be confirmed.
Robert DuttHOST
And new research from Pax8 suggests small businesses are using AI solutions considerably faster than they're developing the ability to manage them.
Robert DuttHOST
The company's third quarter SMB AI Pulse surveyed 1,150 business decision makers in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and Sweden.
Robert DuttHOST
Among businesses already engaged with AI, 67% said they'd already developed at least one AI solution that was now in regular use.
Robert DuttHOST
Among businesses that paid for AI in the past year, 49% received at least one bill higher than they'd expected.
Robert DuttHOST
In the United States, that figure was 57%.
Robert DuttHOST
Pax8 also found that 55% of AI-engaged business decision-makers personally spent at least three hours a week reviewing or correcting AI-generated work.
Robert DuttHOST
There's an interesting disconnect here.
Justin EsgarHOST
We wanted to give you a little something.
Justin EsgarHOST
So, uh, we got back-to-back bottle episodes from the PAX8 run, um, back in the summertime, which was in, where was it? Salt Lake City.
Justin EsgarHOST
Um, so we have Baxter Lanius, Baxter Lanius, I think that's how you pronounce his last name, from Alternative Payments.
Justin EsgarHOST
Full transparency, Virtua uses Alternative Payments.
Justin EsgarHOST
Um, so we have those two coming up right here, now.
Justin EsgarHOST
Ah.
Justin EsgarHOST
What's up, folks? Uh, Justin here, still at PAX8 Beyond.
Justin EsgarHOST
I found my good friend Baxter from AltPay, so I figured I'd bring him over here to have a conversation.
Rich FreemanHOST
There are hyperscalers, cloud hyperscalers out there vying for your business.
Rich FreemanHOST
There are cloud marketplaces like Pax8 out there vying for your business.
Rich FreemanHOST
Um, there are distributors like TD SYNNEX out there, and the advantage that TD SYNNEX believes that it has right now is that they are kind of a superset of what all of those other companies do, me- meaning you ...
Rich FreemanHOST
Th- they can connect you to all the hyperscalers.
Rich FreemanHOST
What's actually distinctive about their approach to FinOps at TD SYNNEX is, yes, they're, they're gonna help you with the AI piece of that, but also the cloud piece, and also the hardware piece.
Erick SimpsonHOST
Right.
Rich FreemanHOST
Um, now, if you're doing business with a, you know, a, a hyperscaler or a Pax8, uh, you know, they can work with you on the AI and the cloud.
Rich FreemanHOST
That hardware piece-
