Leaders from Softcat, XMA, ANS, DTP and Cloudreach reveal how their cats or dogs are helping (or hindering) them as they turn their bedrooms into boardrooms

CRN (and sister publication Channel Partner Insight) continues to track the latest news and views on the COVID-19 crisis in its daily blog here.
