Oprising Ltd

I spoke with a marketing person this week who said I need to "bring people along the Oprising journey with me", and it's also a good thing to sit back and have a "history" of what went on for the future. So, here's a quick post about what has been going on this month for Oprising... ✔️ Officially Registered: We’ve officially registered Oprising as its own entity, which feels like a big milestone in turning this idea into reality. 🖼️ Defined Our Identity: We’ve solidified our branding and switched from roaring "Oprising" like a viking to a rocket kind-of-theme (because we’re all about helping MSPs reach new heights). Plus, we’ve nailed our brand voice - fun, punchy, and conversational - because service improvement doesn’t have to be boring! 😵 Product Development: Our CSI (Continual Service Improvement) module is in build, featuring assessments across leadership, people, process, tech, and customer for all aspects of an MSP, including the dashboards for tracking progress to help you stay accountable for implementation. Behind the scenes, we’ve spent hours defining the logic behind these assessments to make them as impactful as possible. 💻 Website: The main website is built and hidden (for now). We’ve also built and tested subscription processes, ensuring everything works smoothly when we launch. In the meantime, this has a landing page in place that shares what we're looking to create! 🌍 Going Global: I can’t even begin to explain the hours lost figuring out how to provide the platform globally—the devil’s definitely in the details there! ⏱️ Locking in Timelines: We’ve locked down test plans and timelines for our beta testers, and we've even got dates for handover and launch. 👋 Community & Content: We’re considering some form of community/peer group to bring MSPs together and share knowledge. We've also started making a move on the onboarding guides and how-tos—making sure everyone knows how to get the most out of Oprising from day one. My marketing buddy also shared "entrepreneurs are prepared to live like most won’t, so they can live like most can’t", and what keeps me going is the goal of making a real difference to 350,000 MSP/IT folks by 2032. Without that mission, I might’ve thrown in the towel during the tough moments. But knowing the impact Oprising can have makes all the difference. So, as you can see, it’s been a whirlwind month with tons of behind-the-scenes work, but it’s all coming together. If you’re interested in joining the journey or want to be a part of our Beta Testing Team, head over to the website, www.oprising.com, and send us your details!

I'm not sure how I forgot to share this update.... Oprising is in build! It's probably because there has been so much to do! It's not just about having an idea and doing something with it, there has been: countless meetings to refine the idea and document it; security mechanisms; defining terms and conditions of service; pricing strategies, the currencies to be used, and banking to accommodate those; subscription processes; insurance; onboarding; training/knowledge transfers for new users; routes to market; and a whole heap of other stuff I didn't think I'd have to deal with! One thing is I couldn't have done this without the support of so many other people - whether they are interns, investors, mentors, suppliers or MSPs-turned-vendors - they've all shared their thoughts and wisdom, and I appreciate you all! And now here I am getting ready to plan the launch the MVP of Oprising! The first phase is all about managing service improvement. Want to find out more or jump on the waitlist?

Major milestone hit! I’d been umming and ahhing about whether I was ready to take on staff, specifically for the SaaS platform (Oprising), particularly as it’s still early doors and in the kick-off phase, but with The Tech Leader Network Ltd keeping me busy, I had to figure out a way to get the ball moving. So, meet Hari… the BA/PM/PMO intern. Hari is an Aston Uni MBA student and this counts for his project work, and I’m particularly lucky as he has previous experience from software development businesses. I’m looking forward to the inroads we make over the next three months!
