HAT adds NinjaOne to portfolio

HAT Distribution has added IT management platform NinjaOne to its portfolio in A/NZ. 

Through this partnership, HAT will work closely with channel partners to demonstrate the value of NinjaOne’s endpoint management, cyber security, and operational efficiency across diverse IT environments.

“NinjaOne fills a vital gap for our partners by equipping them with a powerful solution to help their clients’ internal IT teams improve endpoint visibility, streamline patching, and bolster cybersecurity,” HAT general manager Josh Gammer said. 

Additionally, NinjaOne provides free and unlimited onboarding, training, and support.

“Managing endpoints in today’s distributed organisational environments has become cumbersome, complex, and cost-prohibitive,” NinjaOne vice president of channel sales, Joe Lohmeier said. 

“For IT teams to effectively grow while saving time and resources, they need an innovative endpoint management platform that can scale alongside them. 

“Now, HAT will be able to help organisations automate IT tasks to increase efficiency, improve productivity by consolidating technology stacks and saving time on simple tasks, and achieve greater resilience by reducing security risks.”

Earlier this year, NinjaOne spent US$252 million acquiring Australian cloud backup provider Dropsuite.

“We have long said we are a build before buy company, and we want to assure our customers and partners that we have passed on a number of potential acquisitions and spent a lot of time to ensure that Dropsuite is as easy to use and deeply integrated into the NinjaOne automated endpoint management platform as the rest of our product suite,” NinjaOne co-founder, president and CFO Chris Matarese said at the time.

“What impressed us most after our due diligence across the SaaS backup and data protection market is that Dropsuite is obsessed with customer success as much as NinjaOne, and their product is widely loved across its customer base and the nearly 1.5 million people who rely on it.”
