In the Channel Insider 2010 Market Pulse Survey, we asked solution providers which vendors they thought would go out of business or be acquired in 2009. The results may shock you – or they may not. While never a true measure of which firms will see their fates altered this year, the solution providers’ rankings do indicate what they think about a vendor’s stability and overall performance.
