Patch My PC is expanding its EMEA channel reach through a new partnership with QBS Software, giving the distributor’s network of MSPs and resellers access to automated application management and third-party patching tools.
The companies say the agreement is designed to help partners strengthen endpoint security while creating new recurring SaaS and managed-services revenue opportunities.
Automated patching targets endpoint security gaps
The partnership will enable Patch My PC to extend its reach across EMEA through QBS Software’s network of channel partners.
“Our mission is to make application security scalable, accessible, and repeatable, bringing application security to as many devices as possible,” said Bert Harkins, CRO of Patch My PC.
“Partners are central to achieving that mission. QBS brings the regional expertise, partnership relationships, and channel support needed to help us reach more organizations across EMEA. Together, we can make it easier for resellers and MSPs to deliver automated application management and security to their customers at scale,” Harkins continued.
MSPs and resellers gain recurring revenue opportunity
QBS Software partners will have the chance to help customers reduce exposure from vulnerable or outdated applications while creating opportunities for recurring SaaS and managed-service revenue by automating application updates across customer environments.
The benefits of this partnership, Patch My PC and QBS Software assert, include:
- Reduced security exposure from vulnerable or outdated third-party apps.
- More consistent, timely patching across large endpoint estates.
- Reduced operational workload for IT and security teams.
- Stronger application and endpoint security through automated patch management.
- New recurring revenue opportunities for resellers and MSPs through SaaS and managed services.
- Simplified deployment and management of third-party applications across customer environments.
“Application management and patching are critical components of a strong endpoint security strategy,” said Oliver Roth, Chief Commercial Officer at QBS Software. “By partnering with Patch My PC, we are offering our reseller and MSP community access to a proven platform that helps turn a time-consuming operational task into an essential security capability.”
