We've discussed the many ways of accessing Channelweb's content, as well as some of the functionality in this new community. A third key Channelweb component consists of our collection of tools aimed at helping solution providers actually conduct business on a day-to-day basis.

Company Research

When looking for channel companies (solution providers or vendors), start with our VAR 500 list; our vendor Partner Program Guide; our Emerging Vendors directory; and our Fast Growth VARs databank. They provide the quickest access to the most dynamic companies in the channel.

Business Tools

Built in cooperation with Channelweb partners, these five tools aim to help you construct quotes, reduce costs, enhance your marketing efforts, and more:

Product Pricing and Availability: Live data from distributors and e-tailers enabling you to locate products at the best price.

Promofinder: Special offers from manufacturers and distrbutors specifically for solution providers.

Solution Provider Locator: Access our database of thousands of solution provider locations and specialties.

Lead Generator: Send your message to a targeted solution provider audience.

PR Toolkit: Craft your company identity and get your message to the widest audience.

Products and Technologies

Research new technologies through documents direct from vendors in our white paper library and vendor content community.

Everything Channel Services

Finally, Everything Channel, our parent company, provides numerous additional services, including Field Sales and Marketing and Partner Marketing Services, and the Partner Education & Development research and channel training organization.
