host Dave Sobel sits down with Kelvin Tegelaar, the CTO of Lime and founder of CyberDrain, to discuss the evolving landscape of SaaS management and the innovative approach taken by CyberDrain. Tegelaar introduces the Cyber Drain Improved Partner Portal (CIPP), an open-source, multi-tenant management solution specifically designed for Microsoft 365. He highlights the need for affordable management tools in the MSP space, which often suffer from high pricing models. By offering a free and open-source tool with optional support, Teglar aims to democratize access to essential management resources for MSPs.

The conversation delves into the dynamics of community involvement in open-source projects. Tegelaar shares insights on how CyberDrain has fostered a vibrant community of contributors, many of whom are system administrators rather than traditional developers. This community-driven approach not only enhances the product but also creates a sense of camaraderie among users. With around 7,000 active MSPs utilizing SIP, Tegelaar notes that a significant portion is opting for the paid support model, while others engage in self-hosting and community support.

Tegelaar also discusses the balance between commercial interests and community contributions, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a clear separation between CyberDrain and his MSP, Lime. This separation helps avoid conflicts of interest and ensures that the focus remains on delivering value to all users. The episode highlights the collaborative relationship between CyberDrain and Microsoft, where Tegelaar's insights and feedback from the MSP community are used to enhance Microsoft's Lighthouse product, showcasing a unique partnership that benefits both parties.

As the episode wraps up, Tegelaar reflects on the future of AI in the MSP space, particularly the potential of large language models (LLMs) to create meaningful applications that go beyond simple tasks. He emphasizes the need for practical implementations that genuinely assist engineers and service providers.
