Channel Round-up: December 2018

clock • 1 min read

A round-up of all last month's biggest vendor, distributor and reseller stories exclusively for CRN Essential subscribers

The fast-moving nature of the IT industry means that sometimes channel executives 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 December Round-up includes news on Fujitsu, Dell, Netwrix and Oracle as well as a host of distributors and resellers, including Tech Data, Bechtle and Claranet.

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