Zawalski also observed that as the channel matures, there are changes in the traditional roles played by distributors and manufacturers. “As with other industries, customers are the drivers in this change,” he remarked. “In the end, they are looking for economies of scale, and consolidation of their vendor base and partners to help shoulder the burdens brought on by shrinking budgets and staff.”
