COVID-19 dominated the headlines in March. So it’s no surprise to see it pop up in our countdown of top stories of the month.

You were very interested, for instance, in what master agents are doing to help keep partners and their customers afloat.

“I’ve been extremely proud to see what the channel has done. What the channel … has done for businesses of all kinds [during the pandemic] has been extraordinary,” Telarus COO Richard Murray told Channel Partners. In fact, we did two stories on the topic involving the master agent community.

You’ll also find predictions on the job outlook for IT pros as the pandemic rolls on.

The latest SD-WAN rankings are always popular, and last month was no different. The opening of Avant’s new second headquarters in Dallas also made our list of the top stories of the month.

By now you’re no doubt wondering which story was No. 1. Might it be a new hire at Telarus? That’s where the gallery below comes in.

Our rankings come via those articles that generated the most traffic online and click-throughs from our weekly newsletters. If you haven’t signed up for that yet, this is the place to do it. Keep up on the hottest topics impacting businesses in the channel without waiting until the beginning of the month.
