Which high profile channel leader slammed 'most vendors' for being too slow? Find out here, along with nine other behind-the-scenes insights into what our channel personalities would change about the channel if they could...
Six Degrees CEO Vince DeLuca
We can be too tethered to technology. It’s important that we find a way to harness tech while still valuing the human element.
Bluecube Managing Director Paul Reames
We still need to attract more women into the industry. Our business like most is heavily weighted with male staff and that’s not a conscious choice. We need to redress the balance of the team but we just don’t get female applicants very often. It’s a problem our sector needs to figure out as a community.
Intercity Technology CEO Charlie Blakemore
We need a culture change on security, from the device to the cloud. We need every single user to think more and be more secure because in the next few years the cyber threat is going to be one of, if not the most, significant risks to businesses.
Patrick Daly, Managing Director, Amillan
Making systems truly interoperable and user friendly requires unified standards to ensure seamless integration between platforms, tools and devices. Simplified user experiences are essential to remove complexity for both end users and developers.
KubeNet Director Fraser Ferguson
Slow down the new products conveyor belt.
PXC CEO James Smith
We need to drive for more diversity, not just for the societal responsibility we have, but because all the evidence and research proves that having teams of people from a wide range of backgrounds, abilities and experiences leads to better decision making and innovation.
Auxilion CEO Patrick Jordan
There’s a stronger need for eco partners to come together and co-develop solutions for customers, to bring the best of technology and services together.
Arran Kirton, Managing Director, Guru Technology
The supplier channel: 95 per cent of vendors are too poor and too slow. Things need to change.
Everything Tech Group (ETG) founder and CFO Mark Allen
I would get vendors to slow down on the deployment of AI on all their devices and software offerings, and instead focus on helping customers understand the use cases for where they can gain ROI from AI in the first place.
Cybit Executive Chairman James Hunnybourne
Medical tech: If we could crack the early warning stuff it would make a world of change.
