In contrast to GE, HPE and AIG, which are dismantling parts of their empires, some companies are building new ones. In this episode of The Channel Futures Podcast, we take a close look at three companies in growth mode: Avant Communications, Nutanix and Peak 10/ViaWest.

First up, we talk cloud and partner evolution with Avant Communications co-founder and CEO Ian Kieninger. He shares his advice of “quoting at level one but selling at level seven.”
