Kaseya Integration Overview

The Kaseya integration is designed to create a sync of key Company information to allow you to run reports on important metrics in your MSP.
Here are the areas that we sync.
1. Companies
  You can map companies between SO and Kaseya and sync from from Kaseya into SO
2. Company Types
  System provides bi-directional Types sync. You can map company types between SO and Kaseya and changes in Kaseya will update SO and from SO to Kaseya too.

Companies

Its best practice to import only Managed clients that are in active Strategic Planning. You do not want to clutter SO with all potential leads, vendors, etc.
1. Import Companies (button on the right part of the table): Click
2. Types: Please select the type used for your Managed Clients. Strategy Overview accounts can have unlimited users but are limited by number of Managed Clients in the system used for Strategic planning. This allows us to provide fair pricing for any MSP at any size.
3. Company Statuses: Usually you only want to import Companies that are Active
4. Integration Status: All
5. Load Companies: Click Load Companies and select Companies you want to Import into the system to use for strategic planning. If you already had companies in Strategy Overview and they had the exact same company name, it will automatically map. If you did not, you need to press "Create unmapped" to create them in SO.
