The European channel is heading into 2023 facing serious headwinds. The war in Ukraine. Soaring energy prices. Record inflation levels. Supply chain problems. A skills shortage. This is set against increasing regulatory requirements and a new, post-pandemic workforce. How will the channel react and respond to these challenges? Is there any good news to be found?

We asked EMEA channel experts for their predictions on such topics as the economy, cloud, sustainability and M&A.

Industry experts we polled include:

  • Tim Britt, Dropbox

  • Brent Owens, Vertiv

  • Charles Milton, Censornet

  • Greg Jones, Datto, a Kaseya Company

  • Matt Harris, HPE

  • Lana King, Mitel

  • Kirk Horton, Netacea
