The ARN Security Supplement puts before you the findings of the Contacts Research security brand awareness study. This analysis asked 200 companies across different industries to reveal their perception of the quality, value, trustworthiness and customer needs understanding provided to them by IT security vendors and brands.
Gaming SupplementThere was a time when the gaming market was of little interest to the IT channel because it meant selling consoles, joysticks and shrink-wrapped games that carried small margins. But those days are long gone. The focus in the gaming market has now sharpened significantly as a new breed of world-dominating, record-breaking, altered reality gamers strive to give themselves an edge over their online opponents. This special ARN supplement will take a closer look at a market offering resellers ongoing opportunities to sell new and improved chassis, motherboards, graphic and sound cards, chipsets, peripherals and wireless gear. So pull up a seat and let the games begin!
Branding SupplementFiguring out what to do with brand names is always an interesting challenge when hardware companies with strong brands merge. The ARN Branding Supplement investigates this issue based on the Contacts PC Brand Awareness and Perception study of Australian corporate and SME PC buyers.
Enterprise Storage SupplementThe third installment on the ARN CX Research Report Series looks at Enterprise storage and is based on the results of the Contacts Research brand awareness and perception study. The survey reveals general dissatisfaction with the level of consulting support and the complexity of installation and integration supplied by storage vendors, but this provides great opportunities for resellers to fill these gaps.
