Ecosystem Excellence: How can Partners Meet New Customer Demand?
As the power of ecosystems take centre stage – supercharged by new technologies and business models – the Australian market interest is intensifying with a sense of strategic coordination.
Spearheaded by a customer base intent on accelerating transformation and maximising value, the importance of the channel network is heightening in response.
To capitalise, forward-thinking partners must respond with whole solutions spanning cloud, software, hardware and services – collaborating with key alliances to disrupt the status quo.
This executive session at Alliance 2023 – in partnership with Google, HP and Microsoft – will outline the importance of building ecosystem excellence to meet evolving end-user demand.
Key discussion points:
- Highlighting customer outlook and evolving ecosystem trends in Australia
- Detailing emerging end-user opportunities for partners to maximise
- Outlining partner priorities and strategic objectives the next 6-12 months
- Demonstrating benefits of building advanced solutions via ecosystem partners
- Explaining role of ecosystems in driving market growth
