EDITOR’S COMMENT
W
elcome to the latest edition of
Intelligent Tech Channels.
If you’ve picked up ITC at
GITEX and you’re a new reader
we would like to extend a warm
welcome to you.
In this edition you will no
doubt find some names you will be
familiar with and perhaps one or
two you are not.
Needless to say, we will be
present at the event and would
be delighted to hear from you
especially if you want to tell us about
recent developments, discuss your
management philosophy or even chat
about how the last year has gone.
Please feel free to send an email to
[email protected] and I’m sure we
can arrange to meet up at the event.
We are keen to hear about your work in
the channel, the partner support you have
received or provide and how you are making
your company more efficient.
If you would like to pick up further
copies of the magazine, you can do so at the
Lynchpin Media stand where you can also
obtain additional information about our
range of technology publications.
Look out for us as you walk around the
event, pop over and say hello – you’ll be
assured of a warm welcome – and please

feel free to drop off your business card so we
can get back in touch.
If you are a PR representing a vendor,
and in the unlikely event that we have not
already communicated, please drop me a
line. We would love to hear from you if you
represent a client worthy of attracting the
attention of industry movers and shakers.
Once again, if you would like to discuss
editorial opportunities please send me an
email and we can meet up at the event to
talk about how we can work together in
the future.
Before I leave you, I can honestly say
that GITEX is the highlight of my IT calendar
as it represents an opportunity to meet
people from all over the world who possess
a joint love of technology and share a deep
optimism about the progress it can deliver.
We have all the usual features including
Editor’s Comment on the following pages
where Ghazal Asif, of Cybereason, and
Richard Archdeacon, of Duo Security,
examine how to get the best out of the
vendor/end-user partnership.
