In the IT industry you can either evolve as part of the channel or risk losing out. Understanding your partners is now more important than ever as traditional channel ecosystems often prioritise size and numbers over substance and value. This outdated approach can lead to inefficiencies and missed opportunities. Enter CapametriX Partner Audit, our new offering, designed to transform how vendors and distributors interact and support their partners.
The Challenge; Evolving Beyond “Bigger is Better”
So many Vendors in our experience still cling to the notion that a larger partner network inherently means better business outcomes. However, in reality, simply having a vast number of partners does not guarantee success. In fact, it can often lead to more conflicts and less effective management. Partners who follow trends instead of setting them may require more attention and resources, detracting from your overall profitability and strategic goals. Additionally, the diverse needs of VARs, MSPs, consultancies, and other channel partners mean that a one-size-fits-all approach is no longer viable. Some partners excel in sales, others in marketing or technical services, but few are strong in all areas. This disparity necessitates a more nuanced and supportive channel framework not normally covered by a Bronze, Silver or Gold tiered approach originating from the 1990’s.
