Jax Chamber Member Spotlight: Venture Pointe
What is a Managed Service Provider (MSP)?
An MSP is a company that remotely manages a customer’s IT infrastructure and/or end-user systems, on a proactive basis
Being different in a crowded market
Venture Pointe prides itself on some pretty basic principles that a lot of MSPs seem to overlook: Always listening to their customers and delivering accordingly through clear, constant, non-technical communication regarding their networks, business relationships and technical needs.
Providing a vetted level of service and technology
Customers of Venture Pointe know that they are being provided a truly vetted level of service and technology. Venture Pointe actually speaks with its clients on a seemingly daily basis. Most MSP’s move away from and automate communication to the extent that their customers hardly know they are there. Our goal is to become ingrained in the day-to-day activity and planning with each client so that we are able to anticipate issues by supporting a deep level of involvement with well-trained technical staff and measurable execution.
In fact, for the previous two years 100% of our clients think:
- Venture Pointe understands their needs as a business.
- The organization is capable of helping their business grow.
- All the clients would recommend Venture Pointe to a colleague or friend.
- Each of the clients are more than satisfied with the services from Venture Pointe.
- Venture Pointe is pro-active and RESPONSIVE
Our Clients
Our clients range from sole proprietors to companies with thousands of employees, located throughout the United States. Venture Pointe supports clients in a very broad range of business, from accounting to yacht design covering roughly thirty-five lines of business.

Tech Tips From Industry Leaders
Jim Satterwhite, CEO at Venture Pointe
‘Through educational forums, ensuring our clients are receiving regular information on how to better their data management, and through constant network monitoring, the battle to protect your business’ data should never stop evolving.’
Venture Pointe, as a Managed Service Provider in the Jacksonville market, is continually trying to educate our clients on the importance of network security. The one thing that is always true; the pitfalls of data exposure are consistent. Most businesses fail to recognize “where” they have exposure, usually in simple circumstances, such as employees sending emails to themselves pertaining to work-related items.
Constant education and network management are genuinely at the core of what we do every day. See tech tips from other industry leaders!

If I Were Launching an MSP Now | Jim Satterwhite
November 2, 2016: Jim Satterwhite, President and COO of Venture Pointe, based in Jacksonville, Fla., shares three suggestions he’d apply if he were launching an MSP from scratch today.
- Be disciplined in adhering to your strategic focus – A lot of new MSPs – and we found ourselves in the same problem initially – you’re going to open your door, you want business, and you’re willing to take anybody’s business. But that doesn’t necessarily bode well with your focus. So, just understand your focus around your vertical, develop the type of client you want and stay within that parameter. As an early-start MSP, you kind of let your clients drive you sometimes out of that vertical. For example, our kind of moniker is that we want to be their single point of contact for all their technology needs. Unfortunately, sometimes that makes you lose focus. You sell them and maintain their printers, then you quickly find your clients asking you if can you sell them ink as well. That just distracts you from your focus. Establish your focus and stay in it.
- Strive for deeper relationships with clients – Take the time to sit down with your clients. It speaks to the service level you’re wanting to obtain; the partnership that you need. If people think you’re there to sell them something all the time, they’re not going to be a partner. They’re not going to give you referrals. They’re not going to call you just to ask your opinion; to give you that resell opportunity. Establish a regular conversation with your clients. Develop very concise reporting as to what they want to see, not what you think they want to see. That will provide you the opportunity to better understand their needs.
- Establish a technology plan for your clients – If I was going to start a new (MSP) now, I would do that earlier than when we did. We kind of got our clients going, then we circled back to them later. And we found a lot of surprises. Early on in your relationship, when you set your business up with your client, understand what they want to do next year, in 18 months. Then you can better adapt to help them. Good example of that is, we got a client. They had three operational shops around the state of Florida. We didn’t ask the question early enough, quite frankly, and about a year into it, they ballooned to nine shops within the state. We had to play catch up. If I had to start over again, I would spend more time to understand the future direction of the client so that you can adequately prepare yourself, through making sure you have the right bandwidth and that you have the right level of staff; appropriate type of staff to support that type of growth of your client.
