Welcome

You are now part of an exclusive channels community. The goal of Candefero is to provide the channel with the kind of high-quality market intelligence and trends analysis it has not previously had access to, free of charge. Having access to this information will help you plan for the future. It is also a place for channel players to come together to discuss the burning issues for their businesses, and through posting comments and participation in research, influence vendors' product, marketing and channel strategies. We encourage you to make the most of you access and give us as much feedback as possible. Note that Candefero has been designed from the outset for the channel, not for the vendors who have access to Canalys research and intelligence by other means.

How does it all work?

Each piece of market intelligence on Candefero can be "bought" for a number of points. Points are credited for participating in quick polls, online surveys, expert interviews and for simply posting comments on published material (or responding to the comments of others). We also give you some points to start with, and for providing more detail about your business and role in the IT channel, so please update your profile as fully as possible. New ways of building up your points bank will be added over time, enabling you to acquire more market data and analysis to help you in your business planning.

What can I get from the site?

The site is loaded continually as new material is published covering areas such as channel strategy, unified communications, enterprise networking and security, PCs, mobile devices, GPS navigation and consumer electronics. But getting access to Canalys market intelligence is only one of the benefits. As with all web-based communities, it is active participation that will help shape the future - sharing best practice with peers in the industry, sending strong messages to the leading vendors about what they are doing right or wrong, and interacting directly with Canalys analysts. New interactive features will be added to the site and we welcome your suggestions and comments about the site as well as the content.
