TBI teamed up with AT&T to better understand where our partners see success. Both TBI and AT&T recognized the lack of data available about the channel and sub-agent business so we asked your industry peers where they were having luck and how they prepare for the future.

Over 100 channel partners were surveyed including IT Consultants, MSPs, VARs, System Integrators, Software Integrators, Contact Centers, TEM/Auditors. Leveraged wisely, this type of information can become a pivotal source of data for you to help you make strategic business decisions when planning for 2019.

A peak at what’s inside:

  • Outlook on the IT channel
  • Key verticals to invest in
  • Solutions with highest demand
  • Key objectives for growth
  • Investments in emerging tech
  • Technologies with greatest potential to drive revenue
