Annual Dealer Survey
Each year The Cannata Report conducts a survey of the independent dealers working in the document imaging channel of the office technology industry. Participants provide data related to business performance and their product lines and submit candid reviews and feedback on their office technology partners’ operations, products, and services. The survey’s findings and analysis are reported in the October and November print issues of The Cannata Report.
