From data breaches to layoffs to new partnerships, December was a busy one in the channel. But which story was No. 1?

20 Slides

The channel closed out the year with a bang, reflected here in our top 20 stories for December.

The month started with a blockbuster acquisition — 8×8 buying Fuze. But not everyone was on board, with one analyst describing it as a “fire sale.” Then partners had to learn about the Log4j vulnerability wreaking havoc on customers.

There were some noteworthy personnel changes, particularly at the highest ranks of some companies. We assembled a “greatest hits” edition, if you will, of our popular Channel People on the Move segment.

Companies doing business in the channel got big investments; others formed new partnerships that will carry into the new year. Our slideshow above counts down the top 20 stories of December as determined by you, our loyal readers.
