Dan Wensley

As CEO of ScalePad, I'm passionately committed to transforming how Managed Service Providers (MSPs) leverage data to drive meaningful business outcomes. Our mission at ScalePad is to turn the complexity of the entire MSP software ecosystem into clear, actionable insights, reshaping the MSP platform into an agile, data-driven tool for strategic decision-making. Since our inception in 2015, we've grown beyond our initial vision, establishing impactful relationships with over 10,000 partners globally in more than 80 countries. This speaks to our core belief in the power of strong partnerships and collaboration. Our growth journey was accelerated in July 2021, when we secured a strategic minority equity investment from Integrity Growth Partners (IGP). This was followed by our acquisition of Backup Radar in November 2021, solidifying our commitment to offer the best in backup and disaster recovery monitoring. In 2023, we expanded our capabilities with the strategic acquisitions of ControlMap, Cognition 360, and Lifecycle Insights. These acquisitions have helped us broaden our offerings, enhancing our value proposition and reinforcing our position as a leading MSP platform. At ScalePad, we're driven by the goal of fostering a harmonious future for MSPs and their clients. With our unified operating system vision for MSPs, we aim to create an industry-wide transformation that goes beyond simply managing data, but uses it as a potent tool for strategic decision-making. Our goal is to arm MSPs with the tools and insights they need to thrive in a data-centric, interconnected digital landscape.

Passportal was born from an MSP, one that our Founder and CEO still owns to this day. As the MSP grew, we experienced significant pains around properly managing the passwords we needed to administer, maintain, and support our client networks and cloud services. There were issues with not being able to provide audit reports to clients needing regulatory compliance, and insurmountable stress with lost sleep whenever a technician left the business – not to mention the wasted labor on non-billable time changing passwords to lockout the former technician. We needed a solution that could control which clients and passwords certain technicians had access to, so we searched high and low for a solution, but couldn’t find something that fit the way an MSP works. There were several solutions for both the Enterprise and Consumer market, but they were either too expensive, complex and cumbersome – or they didn’t have all the features we needed, and not conducive to a team environment. Since we couldn’t find a solution, we built one. Knowing that this problem existed for every other MSP, we made it available as a hosted solution to help our fellow peers in the MSP community
