Release notes or regret notes? Why MSPs can’t afford to skip updates

What if you could get more value from the tools you already have without constantly searching for new ones?

Most MSPs don’t regularly check release notes or roadmaps. Not because they don’t care, it just gets buried under day-to-day work. And without a plan, it stays that way.

In this session, Mendy Green (Rising Tide & MSPGeek) joins us to show how MSPs can rethink release notes and roadmaps to reduce wasted spend, avoid unnecessary tools, and make smarter decisions—just by staying informed.

Your tools are constantly evolving, but if you’re not keeping up, you’re missing out on value and creating unnecessary friction.

Release notes help you troubleshoot faster, train better, and get more from what you already pay for, while roadmaps help you plan smarter, avoid tool overlap, and have more productive vendor conversations.

We’ll show you how to stay on top of it all, without adding more noise to your day.


What you’ll walk away with:

  • How to turn release notes into something useful (not just more noise)
  • Why vendor roadmaps should factor into your buying decisions
  • How to avoid tool sprawl by understanding what’s already coming
  • Practical ways to make this part of your team’s workflow
