As a professional service to our members, the Canadian Channel Chiefs Council (C4) is committed to bringing the latest high-value channel and technology industry research to our members to help you make the right decisions in your jobs.
This month, C4 is pleased to offer its members exclusive discounted rates on two recent reports from our key research partners.
To the cloud
TechAisle has produced Winning Strategies of Successful Cloud Channel Partners. This comprehensive research report, designed specifically for the channel community, offers 15 keys to successful cloud business management for channel executives.
Based on extensive surveys with channel partners that sell cloud computing solutions and services to the small and medium-sized business (SMB market, the study identifies the quantitative, meaningful and actionable differences between partners that are successful in the cloud, and those that are not. Critical differences were uncovered around corporate priorities and allocations, technology and offering definition and sales and marketing strategies and tactics.
Among the key conclusions? Recurring revenue is not the sole indicator of cloud business success, branded solutions are a must, and industry knowledge is a more important differentiator that technical expertise.
While this research is normally priced at $4,500, as a special offer for our C4 members, it’s available for a limited time for just $3600 – a savings of 30 per cent.
CDN’s Top 100 Solution Providers
If you’re looking to get a comprehensive overview of the Canadian IT reseller channel and solution provider community, you want CDN’s Top 100 Solution Providers Benchmark Report for 2014.
Based on surveys completed by applicants to CDN’s Top 100 Solution Providers list, the benchmark report tracks the growth of the Canadian channel partners, outlines the top solutions where partners will be investing in 2014, where partners are anticipating growth, where and how they’ll be hiring and what vendors they’re working with.
According to the report, the typical solution provider in Canada has between 25-50 employees, is looking to hire more staff and, if it hasn’t already pulled the trigger, is seriously looking at investing in cloud services.
The regular price for this report is $499, but as a special offer for C4 members it is available for just $299 – that’s 40 per cent off for C4 members.
