Those experiences have taught me what to look for in apotential partner, and what parts of a channel program works versus whatdoesn’t,” said C.J. Ezell, CEO of Point Clear Networks and ASCII member since 2013. “I am happy to provide my opinion on thevendors that want to partner with The ASCII Group.
