Anpackende Ingenieure, mutige Kaufleute, verrückte Self-Made-Glücksritter und jede Menge Pleitiers, über die CRN aus dem Channel berichtet. CRN? Channel? Dem Journalisten Martin Fryba wird 2001 als Einsteiger in den ITK-Handel schnell klar: Wer in die CRN kommt, findet im ITK-Channel Gehör – bisweilen mehr als ihm liebt ist. Die Goldenen Zeiten des PC-Zeitalters neigen sich zwar dem Ende zu, als Fryba für die weltweit bekannte, führende Channel-Publikation das Ressort „Börse & Finanzen“ sowie „Systemhaus“ auf- und ausbaut. Spannend bleibt es für den Journalisten allemal: Die Internetblase platzt, der Neue Markt wird wenige Jahre später nach zahlreichen Skandalen eingestellt, E-Commerce verändert den IT-Handel und die Distribution. Zunächst ASP, später Cloud Computing und Managed Services, aktuell Security, KI und Vernetzung und Enablement in Partnerökosystemen: Innovationen treiben das Business der Hersteller und ihrer Partner in einem heute äußert dynamischen IT-Markt an. Eine spannendere Branche gibt es nicht für Martin Fryba, der über Technologie und Strategien des Marktzugangs berichtet und mit tagesaktuellen Nachrichten den Channel auf dem Laufenden hält.
