Welcome to the 3rd Edition of Channel Speak!

Last year was….. a year full of uncertainty and changes. Both in the way we worked and the way we lived!

 

IT spend grew by 0.9% as per Gartner in 2020, a major dip compared to 2019. This was expected as organizations across the world had to relook at their strategies and identify if their industries, products, services and markets were still relevant. They had to identify and adopt technologies that would enable them to circumvent these uncertain times.

The year also brought some major challenges to the channel eco-system with regards to their ability to reach markets, identify the right solutions for their customers and survive the economic impact of the pandemic. This is also reflected in the 3rd Edition of Enabler ONE’s Channel Speak, the MENA region’s ONLY vendor & technology agnostic channel eco-system survey.

 

Gartner’s 2021 forecast is for major jump in IT spending to 9%, especially across technologies that would support remote or hybrid working! The channel eco-system is also circumventing their challenges with various approaches.
