Supply Chain Solutions for SaaS
Partner ecosystem drives business in today’s software subscription environment
Today’s vibrant ecosystem of partners and influencers is driving customers’ pursuit of solutions to support and grow their businesses. The shift to Software as a Service (SaaS) impacts the way software is sold and customers are retained (or lost). How are you tracking and incentivizing all your ecosystem partners – from initial sales to the retention of your customers? Personalized incentives keep partners and influencers engaged with your solutions. Software companies no longer sell, support, and expect customers to stay – there is a constant cycle of selling a solution, meeting expectations, and engaging the entire ecosystem to continually earn and re-earn your customers’ business.
