How COVID-19's impact on CRN's audience is changing - in eight graphs

Demand levels beginning to moderate, with half of firms in our sector now furloughing staff, CRN's second COVID-19 snapshot survey finds

Rocketing demand levels in the channel have begun to moderate, CRN's second COVID-19 snapshot survey suggest.

Having frozen our second poll (which ran between 1 and 8 April) this morning, we now have two data sets and can compare how channel pros' peception of the challenges and opportunities accompanying the crisis is changing over time. Join the third snap poll here.

Although demand levels remain heightened in some areas (notably, accelerating in the area of client devices), an equal measure of respondents are now seeing demand peaks and troughs. Some 50 per cent work for firms that have now furloughed staff, up from just over a third in the previous poll, while the percentage whose firms have downgraded growth forecasts has also risen.
