CRN Tech News
The CRN Tech news app was designed for road warriors who need access to mobile content and tools to better run their business, but also for investigative news fans interested in learning more about the IT channel's big picture. Each week, app subscribers will have access to in-depth reports exclusively from the CRN Tech News app.  These reports will zero in on key topics such as excessive channel CEO salaries, piracy in the data center, and an in-depth look at which vendors benefit most from federal funding.
