Dustin Puryear, founder of **Giant Rocketship**, joins the *MSP Business School* podcast to discuss **helpdesk management**, **service delivery**, and automation in **Autotask**-driven MSP environments. Drawing from his experience running an MSP, Dustin explains how Rocketship tackles the real problem: managing technician workload—not just ticket count.

He explains how Rocketship improves **service management** by automating ticket assignment and prioritization using SLAs, customer impact, and technician availability. The result: fewer backlogs, better resource use, and improved customer outcomes.

**Highlights:**

- **Automated dispatch** helps reduce ticket backlog and increase service efficiency.
- **SLA-based prioritization** ensures the right tickets are handled first.
- **Focus on technician workload** instead of raw ticket numbers.
- **Cost-effective automation** means fewer manual escalations and reduced staffing overhead.
- **AI and automation** are changing MSP service models—Rocketship is built for that shift.

This episode is a must-listen for MSPs using Autotask who want better control of service delivery, scheduling, and escalations.
