An exclusive group of industry professionals

The Mission

CAB is a global community of industry channel professionals focused on communication and collaboration, sharing their knowledge and experience to advance our industry. The identity of CAB members will remain confidential and their feedback completely anonymised.

Let’s start with the ‘Why’

There is a wealth of market forecasting and trend analysis information created from ‘products sold’, but little reliable data and insights derived directly from channel partners to help vendors, distributors and service providers, navigate the complex UC&C landscape.

  • The Members

  • Global community of business leaders

  • Communication and Collaboration channel partners from across the world, spanning multiple market sectors.

    Supplying insights / feedback and predictions based on their expertise, assured that their knowledge will be fully anonymized.

  • Exclusive

  • Selected for their knowledge and expertise, community members are an exclusive group of recognised industry experts and influencers.

  • Industry building blocks

  • The combined output from the community is a highly valued source of information representing the needs of both channel partners and end customers. It is being used by a select group of supply chain partners for elements of strategic direction, product development, go-to-market strategies and much more.

CAB Engagement
