The Real Amazon Effect on the Channel
Companies everywhere – in the technology channel too – are staying awake at night obsessing about how to beat Jeff Bezos’ online-retail powerhouse at its own game. Meanwhile, Amazon marches on, brave and strong.
Getting Ahead of the Maturity Curve
Research by The 2112 Group reveals that solution providers are hopeful about their futures, and that’s great news, but it turns out they need to do more to turn their aspirations into reality.
Cloud as a Channel Evolutionary Catalyst
To succeed, partners need to do four things for customers: meet their basic needs, provide them with meaningful outcomes, exceed their expectations, and, in Walsh’s words, “keep them delighted.”
The Channel Isn’t the Best Route to Market, But It Can Be
To regain some of its former glory, the channel needs to acknowledge that it’s not currently the best route to market. In other words, vendors and solution providers need to recognize the system’s flaws and face them head-on.
Sizing Up the Channel
The technology channel is a powerful vehicle for indirect sales – if leveraged wisely. To do that, vendors need to gauge their channel and assess their channel strategies, rather than just pouring resources blindly into indirect-sales initiatives.
Breathing New Life into Hardware with Services
The thinning out of hardware margins is nothing new, but the situation has begun to take on some urgency. Walsh discusses trends in the hardware and services markets, and what vendors can do to address the eroding value of boxes.
Translating Partnership Costs Into Partner Profitability
Larry Walsh, CEO and chief analyst of The 2112 Group, was joined by Intel Security’s Fernando Quintero and Optiv’s Luis Palacio to discuss how vendors and their channel partners can build better, more productive relationships.
