Top 12 Stories in May: CenturyLink Layoffs, UCaaS Rankings, Sprint IoT

May brought us a flurry of news from some of the biggest players in the channel, with many of those stories cracking our top 12.

Backed by Microsoft, Ingram Micro formed an independent cloud platform division of which partners will be able to take advantage. Channel Partners was there when OpenText’s CEO blasted IBM Watson for being “slow” and inflexible.

One of our latest “CP lists” cracked the month’s top 12, with growing interest in the channel for SD-WAN solutions. And partners were interested to read how the latest 5G advancements from Verizon and Sprint will impact them.

All of those stories, plus more layoffs by CenturyLink post Level 3 acquisition, and the growing tensions between AT&T and its union that could end in a strike.

And those are just some of the headlines you’ll find in our top 12 from May. Our rankings are an aggregate of online page views and our weekly newsletter results. (You can sign up for that here.)
