NOTES ON FEATURES

  We work a minimum of two months ahead                                   For Cross-Channel, each month we are looking
  (ie, we will be planning the April features in                          to interview four resellers, systems integrators
  February). Please reach out early to avoid                              or MSPs each month that specialise in that
  disappointment.                                                         month’s subject area.
  We will publish a range of other features and
  specials throughout the year. Please contact
  Michael Jenkin for more information.
