Managing channel partner relationships requires time, effort, energy, consistency and a well-thought-out strategy. As the person in your emerging growth company responsible for channel partner management, you must create and maintain strong relationships with your channel partners. The most effective way of doing so is through collaboration and the most efficient way to collaborate is through technology via the cloud. The result will be more engagement between your channel partners and the end-customer, ultimately impacting your sales, mindshare, brand loyalty and ROI. Let’s examine how a cloud-based technology can improve collaboration throughout your channel.Channel Partner Collaboration

First, it’s helpful to know what exactly the cloud is. Wikipedia describes it as “the delivery of computing as a service to a community of end-recipients. The name comes from the use of clouds as an abstraction for the complex infrastructure which contains the applications. Cloud computing entrusts services with a user’s data, software and computation over a network. It has considerable overlap with software-as-a-service (SaaS).” In other words, with cloud technology you and your partners can access whatever applications, files and data you have opted to store in the cloud – anytime, anywhere from any device.

You want to find a channel management software solution that utilizes the cloud to foster the flow of information throughout the channel in an effective way. A channel management software solution that leverages a partner portal will make it easy for partners to get the information they need when they need it to sell and service products more effectively.  In addition to the portal a partner relationship management (PRM) methodology will foster a culture of support and partner enablement.  PRM software allows your partners to share their ideas and information in a collaborative, real-time portal environment that will ultimately drive the growth and success of your business. A cloud-based PRM system provides a safe and secure portal for your partners to create discussions, share ideas and exchange best practices regarding your products.
