Rich, Cecilia, and Matt are back with Episode #6 of ChannelPro Weekly! Rich managed to stop in at Eaton's Partner Summit and SMB TechFest, and even though there's some disagreement over whether or not electricity and power is sexy, there are a lot of interesting takeaways from the event. In other news, we discuss Intel's announcement of layoffs in conjunction with continuing shifts in its business strategy, and a callout to long-time friend Shannon Mayer who recently landed a VP role at The ASCII Group. Naturally, digital signage is evolving to customer engagement, and there's a fascinating discussion around what opportunities that means for business and potential security risks worth thinking about. Plus, Rich interviews Hank Humphreys from Dropbox on the company's recent alliance with Ingram Micro and its channel offering. All this and more. Subscribe and listen now!
