July's Top 12: Layoffs, Top Channel Execs, Fusion-Windstream Bankruptcies

It’s a good news-bad news top 12 in the channel from July.

Fusion Connect and Windstream are still working their way through chapter 11 bankruptcy filings, so updates on those situations cracked our list.

But there was plenty of positive news to crow about: NTT opened up more opportunities for partners through its consolidation, Intelisys hired a cloud and contact center expert to lead some of its efforts with partners, and our Top Gun 51 list – an honor for channel execs at companies across the telecom and IT channels – made its debut. (We’ll honor them at the upcoming Channel Partners Evolution, Sept. 9-12, in Washington, D.C.)

We compile our list by combining those articles that get the most traffic on our website with their performance in our weekly newsletters. Sign up now for that.
