HarmonyPSA automates the billing process and provides accurate, real-time views of customers’ contracts, projects and profitability.

“The acquisition of Harmony is a direct response to our MSP partners’ requests to help them quickly transform and grow a cloud services business with less risk,” said Nimesh Davé, president of CloudBlue and Ingram Micro Cloud. “We are delighted to have the Harmony team join our CloudBlue community as we expand our technology offerings.”

“We’re extremely excited to join the CloudBlue family to capitalize on our shared commitment of driving growth for our customers,” said Steve Powell, co-founder and CTO of Harmony Business Systems. “By working together, we will dramatically scale our customer base and expand our offering across various marketplaces.”

Stephen Robitaille, director of sales operations at intlx Solutions and a customer of HarmonyPSA, is enthusiastic about the platform's ability to automatically create purchase orders and generate unique reports that track project profitability on all aspects of the business.
