Amber Redmann, CEO of Parasol Alliance (No. 468 on the 2019 MSP 501), has a very unique approach to her MSP business model.

Parasol Alliance’s Amber Redmann

The company was born from a severe lack of IT services dedicated to the senior-living industry. Recognizing this gaping hole, Redmann decided to go where few have dared to.

Redmann got her start in the assisted living/retirement community industry more than 10 years ago. Working her way up from the help desk to managing business systems, Redmann learned the ins and outs of the senior-living industry, implementing vital systems, processes and strategies — and building teams.

Redmann had worked in senior living for nine years. She began to realize that there was a huge unmet need for IT services specific to that industry.

“Because we work solely in the senior living industry, we have developed a business model that is very focused on meeting the needs of that specific vertical,” said Redmann. “This unique approach and model has helped us weather this COVID-19 landscape.”
