Channel Round-up: August 2018

clock • 1 min read

A roundup of all last month's biggest vendor, distributor, reseller stories exclusively for CRN Essential subscribers

The fast-moving nature of the IT industry means that channel executives are so busy they sometimes miss some of the biggest channel stories through a lack of time or inclination to dig through the archives of CRN and other news sites.

With that in mind, CRN is rounding up all the major stories to hit vendors, distributors and resellers in an easy-to-read PDF each month.

The August round-up includes news on Apple, Huawei, Mitel, Dell and Samsung as well as a host of distributors and resellers, including HPE, Ingram Micro, Tech Data, Bechtel, Computacenter, Softcat and XMA.

It is accessible here, exclusively to CRN Essential subscribers. January's round-up, however, can be viewed by all for free here.
