EDITOR’S COMMENT
Welcome to the latest edition of
Intelligent Tech Channels.
This edition’s Final Word
focuses on an interview with
Emile Abou Saleh, Regional
Leader – Middle East, Turkey and
Africa, Proofpoint, who tells us
about the importance of human
behaviour in preventing email
cyberattacks and offers advice to
CISOs looking to strengthen their
email security strategies.
On the front cover of this month’s
edition we feature Vijay Babber, Senior
Channel Manager at Gigamon.
He tells us how the company is working
with its channel partners to enable
customers to progress transformative
digitalisation schemes, while staying secure
financially, as well as the importance of
building strong partner relationships.
He explains how the Digital
Transformation shift was already picking
up speed, way before the pandemic and
the shift into the ‘new tomorrow’ has
forced companies to advance or
accelerate their Digital Transformation
journeys exponentially.
Don’t forget to watch our video of
the interview on the Intelligent Tech
Channels website.
This month’s Future Tech looks at Avaya’s
Unified-Communications-as-a-Service
offering, Avaya Cloud Office by RingCentral,
which has been launched in the UK. It is an
all-in-one solution that delivers seamless
collaboration across multiple channels to
empower teams to work effectively from
wherever they are, on any device.
In the Editor’s Comment we hear
how two companies plan to improve
customer experience during the next 12
months. While the Editor’s Question focuses
on how the role of the reseller will change
within the next five years in the vendorpartner
ecosystem.
