Kovendi Insights 45 - Pivot to Partner
45min Webinar with Global Industry Experts - For growing tech vendors: how to drive sales with a scalable indirect partner program. Smaller growing technology businesses can develop partnerships that are defined case by case. We call this ‘informal partnering’. These might be technology alliances or sales relationships. Sales relationships might be ‘sell with’ or ‘sell through’. The next step is ‘scalable partnering’, with a repeatable partnering model and investment in resources and content. How do companies best make this transition?

Kovendi Insights 45 - Partner Transformation
Partner Transformation and Enablement to Drive Cloud and Service Revenues In this webinar we’ll be discussing the impact of digital transformation on indirect routes to market. As technology solutions move to the cloud, and as customers look for higher-value service relationships, vendors and channel partners must re-engineer their businesses. How are vendors developing indirect routes to market to meet changing customer needs? What resources and tools can vendors provide that help partners create profitable cloud and service revenue streams?

Kovendi Insights 45 - SaaS Partner Programs
How do SaaS Partner Programs differ from legacy Resell Programs? Every technology vendor is moving, or has moved in some way, towards a service model. Software vendors offer Software as a Service. Hardware vendors are moving to software models. What does that mean for Partner Programs? How should partner engagement models change in order to support and drive new business models of this type?

Kovendi Insights 45 - SMB Cloud Channels
How to build scalable SMB routes to market for cloud solutions In this webinar we’ll be discussing how technology vendors are building scalable channels to drive sales of cloud solutions to SMB end customers. Many vendors are looking to grow revenue through Cloud Solution Providers, Managed Services Providers and other services specialists. Companies like Microsoft, McAfee and Veeam have been successful in building scalable partner engagement models. What lessons can we learn from these approaches? We’ll talk about market segmentation and look at the evolving roles of channel partners, including CSP, MSP and Services Specialists. We’ll discuss the value of distribution and the use of Marketplaces. We’ll also talk about the relevance of channel ecosystems to SMB, and engagement with ISV who develop solutions that enhance vendor offers.

Building an effective ISV Partner Ecosystem
Listen to Google & Zendesk discussing how technology vendors can build effective relationships with developers and software application providers. Relationships with ISV partners are increasingly important for vendors who are looking to build end-to-end solutions for their customers. What are the key components of the value proposition that will attract developer partners to integrate with, or build on your offer? How important are frictionless developer journeys and marketplaces? How does the Technology Partner Program fit with the core Reseller Program?
