MSP Membership

The MSP Community
Built on Real Owner Input

Most MSP owners are not short on information. They are short on reliable input. ASCII connects you with peers who share what is actually working, so you can make decisions with better context and less risk.That is the value of a true MSP VIP membership.

ASCII: Where MSP Owners Compare, Challenge, and Decide

Most MSP owners are making high-impact decisions without reliable input.

Vendor recommendations are often tied to sales.

Online advice lacks context.

The cost of getting it wrong is high.

ASCII addresses this by removing that influence entirely. It is a peer-led MSP membership where conversations are driven by owners, not vendors. Members share what they are doing, what worked, and what did not, without pressure to promote a product or align with a partner.

You are not filtering advice. You are hearing it directly from other MSP owners who are running businesses like yours.

What Changes When You Have the Right Input

Decisions around vendors, pricing, service structure, and growth strategy carry genuine weight. But the information available is often fragmented or too general to apply. Many MSP membership options do not provide the level of peer insight needed to guide high-impact decisions.

An ASCII membership changes how those decisions are made.

One Membership. Full Access Across Your Team.

ASCII membership is structured to give your entire business access. The model is simple: One membership gives your whole team the ability to participate, learn, and contribute.

Transaction-Free Opportunities

Members can collaborate through subcontracting and M&A activity without fees, making it easier to build partnerships and explore growth opportunities without friction.

Direct Support & Accessibility

Each member also has direct access to support, so you can find what you need quickly and make use of the network without delay.

Marketing & Business Support

Members have access to marketing services and support without additional charges. This includes practical input across areas like lead generation, email marketing, and campaign execution.

Full Company Access

Your entire team can participate, which means decisions are not held by one person. Leadership, operations, and sales can all access the same input and apply it directly.

Peer Groups Included

There is no extra fee to join peer groups. This gives you a consistent way to test decisions with other MSP owners without additional cost.

ASCII-Link: Where Members Get Answers They Can Act On

The ASCII member benefits portal is where members access the network day to day. It brings discussions, vendor programs, and business resources into one place so you can move from question to answer quickly.

At the center is ASCII-Link, the private forum where MSP owners exchange input in real time.

ASCII-Link runs in a vendor-free environment, so conversations are not shaped by sales incentives. Members can speak openly about what is working, what is not, and where they have made mistakes.

How ASCII Members Use the Network

ASCII works through active participation. Members bring real questions, share direct experience, and use the network to inform decisions as they come up.

Peer Groups

Peer groups provide a structured way to compare approaches and test ideas with MSP owners at a similar level. They help members pressure-test decisions before acting on them.

Events & Roundtables

Events, roundtables, and focused sessions create space to step back and assess larger strategic decisions with a broader view from the network.

Ongoing Discussions

Working groups and ongoing discussions give members access to input between meetings. That means you are not waiting for the next event when something needs to be decided now.

Relevant Business Topics

Conversations regularly cover pricing, vendors, service delivery, and other issues that affect how MSPs operate. The difference is that these discussions come from real MSP experience, not generic advice.

ASCII: A Smarter Way to Make Business Decisions

Since 1984, ASCII has given MSP owners across North America something that is hard to find elsewhere.

A place where decisions can be discussed openly, where input comes from people doing the work, and where independence is protected, not compromised.

ASCII works because members show up, contribute, and engage. The more you put into the network, the more useful it becomes.
