CRN: Channel Partners Share Tales From The Trenches During Coronavirus Pandemic
With all the news about the macroeconomic impact of the COVID-19 coronavirus, along with travel restrictions and business closures, it's important to remember that we are all personally affected to some degree as stories from 13 diverse solution providers show.
Bob Olwig, vice president of corporate business development at World Wide Technology, a St. Louis, Mo.-based global solution provider.
Olwig said the health and safety of WWT's employees and their families is the company's number one priority.
"Communication is key," he said. "[WWT CEO] Jim Kavanaugh and our Vice President of HR, Ann Marr, have been issuing companywide emails. And Jim sent a reassuring video to all of our employees late last week. We have internal and external FAQs posted that we're updating almost daily. Our crisis management team has a daily standup meeting and is collaborating in a Microsoft Teams site."
