10 Takeaways from the CompTIA/Channel Futures DE&I Survey

Aware that you can’t figure out which way to go until you know where you are, CompTIA and Channel Futures teamed up to assess DE&I in the channel and tech industry. To do this, we collaborated on a quantitative study consisting of an online survey fielded in September 2021. The survey went to 510 IT businesses — channel firms, IT vendors, distributors, agents, telcos and IT consultants — in the U.S.

The survey included questions about channel firms’ general awareness of DE&I, what resources they had or needed, the challenges and benefits they had encountered in their DE&I efforts, what actions they were taking, how they would rate their success and more.

Education and Direction

The results of the survey will be used to inform Channel Futures’ DE&I initiative. Various aspects will be examined in detail and used in determining where we can provide useful resources, education and expert advice.

We’re starting with a look at 10 important takeaways extracted from the survey results. They provide us with a base, a general overview of where we are. From there we can determine where we want to go and how we will get here.
