Pax8 Beyond Conference

At this year’s Pax8 Beyond Conference, IT GOAT was proud to be recognized with the Galactic Partner achievement, placing us in the top 1% of MSPs within the Pax8 marketplace. 

This milestone reflects more than growth; it’s a clear signal that our service delivery, customer outcomes, and long-term commitment to excellence are being recognized at the highest level in the industry.

Long-Term Growth

Beyond the award, the conference gave us valuable time to deepen relationships with key vendors that directly impact our clients. I connected with NordSecurity, IronScales, and the Pax8 team to align on strategy, roadmap planning, and future initiatives. 

These conversations helped us secure MDF support for 2026, setting the foundation for long-term campaigns, events, and continued investment in client success.

Industry Insights and Market Direction

Pax8 Beyond also provided an opportunity to step back and evaluate where the industry is headed. From evolving security threats to shifting expectations around managed services, staying informed on market trends ensures we continue to deliver solutions that are proactive, relevant, and built for the modern business environment.

Staying Ahead of the Competition

Understanding the competitive landscape is critical to staying sharp. Learning how other providers are positioning themselves, where standards are rising, and which solutions are becoming table stakes allows us to continuously refine our approach—so IT GOAT remains a forward-thinking IT partner, not just another service provider.
