Channel Partners executive editor Craig Galbraith and business development lead Kevin Morris kick off the new year with a podcast featuring Carmen Sorice, longtime channel leader at Sungard Availability Services, who has started a new business called Qlarity that’s dedicated to helping vendors build successful channel programs.

Also on the show is Chris Whitaker, director of national indirect sales at Sierra Wireless, who dives into the state of connectivity and IoT in the channel.

All of that, plus Kevin introduces you to a new acronym-based theme song for the podcast.
