At the Summit, Channelnomics unveiled compelling new research. This research was a collaboration with GTDC. It aimed to shed light on the crucial role of distribution. The findings were eye-opening. Vendors and partners expressed high levels of satisfaction with their distribution partnerships. This satisfaction stems from the substantial benefits they receive.

This investment is a direct response to the evolving needs of the channel community. Distributors understand the importance of staying ahead of the curve.

The significance of these findings was further discussed in the podcast “In the Margins.” Hosts Larry Walsh and Amy Henderson delved into the key takeaways.
