      What are the opportunities for the channel with the growth of AI?

      A common misconception associated with AI (Artificial Intelligence) is that it's all about self-driving cars and robots and that you need both a degree in higher maths and hugely powerful computer systems to make it work. However, that's far from the case and in this research paper, we investigate real-world business uses that are, in fact, based on widely available common technologies, tools and services which channel partners already provide, manage and support.

      How do MSPs really feel the channel will shape up by 2020?

      47 per cent of MSPs questioned in exclusive research by CRN, said they were planning for further organic growth in the year ahead, with 18 per cent keen to collaborate with peers over the next 12-24 months. Unsurprisingly, 39 per cent of those same respondents were also convinced Brexit would have the biggest impact on their plans for the coming year.
