Welcome to the first issue of Connections for 2016. We’re starting the New Year with a few new features that we think you will like. First, we’re using more slideshows for our Regional Roundup so you can get a good look at what’s going on around the world and maybe see some familiar faces. We’ve also added a new section, Forward Focus, which will shine the spotlight on two of our biggest initiatives, Cloud and Services.

Also in this issue, we kick off the year with the first in our 2-part New Branding series, get acquainted with Fairsail and catch up on the latest Westcon-Comstor news.

I bet many of you have seen a sneak peek of our new branding. Maybe it was something like an email signature or a sign in a photo that left you wondering, “What is that and what does it mean?” In part 1 of this 2-part series, we explore how a little self-discovery made us really think about who we are, and how we translated that into a whole new look for the company.
