Each year, ChannelPro calls attention to lesser known, up-and-coming, and underappreciated vendors our readers may not know about, but should. We’d like your input!

The forecast for this episode? Continuing business-building insights and information with pockets of fun.
In this issue: Post-Exit Exit Planning | Best-Practice Budgeting | Managed Print for Hybrid Workplaces | Finding/Hiring Older Workers
Back after a holiday break, Erick and Rich sift through Microsoft’s New Commerce Experience, urge you to get cyberinsurance for anyone (including you) who doesn’t have it, and scratch their heads at scientists who taught goldfish to drive.
