Senior Canalys analysts work with our vendor clients to create a digital questionnaire around specific needs. There is a well-developed back-end structure and algorithm, but all Alys projects are highly tailored solutions. We find that this option to customize means that, with our vendor clients, we deliver the very best to their channel partners.
