Editor's Note

Partners are often failing to read the room, metaphorically speaking, when it’s time for customers to renew contracts, senior IBRS advisor David Beal told attendees at Pipeline yesterday.

This is one of the underlying threads I'm noticing at Pipeline this year - the disconnect between customers’ needs and tech partners’ approach to working with them.

On a lighter note, it turns out networking while dressed as a stormtrooper can be surprisingly effective. Astronauts, Jedi knights and even Arthur Dent rubbed shoulders with MSPs, vendors and marketplaces yesterday evening at the Superloop-sponsored Galactic Gala at La Luna Beach Club at Pipeline. Photos here and more to come!

Finally, news broke yesterday of a significant M&A deal - Nexon Asia Pacific has been sold to Adamantem Capital.
