Why Listen?

We have seen our world’s rapid and sustained transformation for close to two years. Technology is transforming every company and industry, and we will never go back. Jay McBain has coined this the Decade of the Ecosystem. We will continue to see significant shifts and transformations in how we market, procure and deploy the technology. The channel is also evolving, and technology tools to support this journey will grow, expand, and mature. We are in the early innings of a very exciting time!

I invited Rob for a pitch and catch on what we have seen and how technology channel professionals and leaders need to think and pivot to adapt to the change.
