Partner to Partner Networking. As technologies evolve and offerings increase exponentially, solution providers are still challenged to be their customers “one-stop-shop” and trusted adviser. No one could be defined as an expert on all of these technologies but there is a way solution providers have started expanding their expertise. Partner to partner networking is not only between solution providers, manufacturers are also enabling and encouraging partnerships. Nexus, an advanced technology provider out of southern California is a great example. Nexus partners with other solution providers to reach a broader base of end-customers and their partners are able to leverage more certifications, technology expertise, and experience. Nexus has expanded this network further and engages with other business consultants offering a referral program for anyone bringing them clients or partners.

How Does Cisco’s Partner-to-Partner Collaboration Work? - Channe. If your customers are asking for managed services, but you don’t have an infrastructure in place just yet, partner-to-partner collaboration may be that missing puzzle piece you need. Essentially, traditional partners can out-task their NOCs to partners like Heit who already have an infrastructure in place. Heit manages the services remotely — whether they include unified communications, routing, switching, or servers — and traditional VARs benefit from infrastructures that are already built. But the best part is that you still manage the front-end relationship with the client.
Win win, right? In the video below, Todd Roth, Cisco’s Director of WW Channels Strategy, and Heit CEO Dan Holt break it down and walk us through the process. Do you have any questions about managed services or partner-to-partner collaboration? SAP Ecosystem and Partners: Sharing Best Practices with SAP Comm. Motorola Unveils PartnerEmpower Program - Spotlight news from Ch. Motorola will be getting increasingly aggressive in expanding market share through partners through its new channel program – Motorola PartnerEmpower – a new effort to bring the full breadth of the company’s enterprise mobility and communications products to market and open new opportunities for independent software vendors (ISVs) and resellers. PartnerEmpower is essentially the next phase in the consolidation of Motorola’s network wireless, radio and mobility platform businesses. In 2008, Motorola formed Enterprise Mobility Systems that essentially combined the offerings of Symbol and Motorola’s enterprise businesses under one roof.
Last year, Motorola integrated its government business into the consolidated framework. What’s been missing to this point is a common global channel framework that provides partners with a clear path to identifying solutions, building sales and support practices, and bringing products to market.

By Mike Myatt, Chief Strategy Officer, N2growth If corporate growth is what you seek, but you lack the patience to endure the slow pace of organic growth, and don’t have the capital necessary to finance an acquisition binge, then you might want to consider the many benefits associated with partnering. While the concept of creating a strategic partnership is familiar to many, the reality is that few companies take advantage of them. Let me offer the initial disclaimer that the subject of today’s post is a complex area that would require much more in depth coverage to do it justice. That said, in the text that follows I’ll provide an overview of the many reasons why partnering should be included as a key component of your corporate growth strategy… Acquisitions Growth by acquisition in most cases constitutes a complex, capital intensive, and time consuming process.
Furthermore the brain damage associated with an acquisition is just beginning when the deal closes. Thoughts? Think Global, Act Local | In This Issue | Vertical Systems Resel. Posted Date: By Lisa Terry, Contributing Editor, VSR For an SMB-sized VAR, a larger VAR business can seem daunting: more resources, more clout, more leverage, and therefore more wins. But as the channel continues to mature, another dynamic is emerging: the large VAR as partner and mentor.
The industry has seen successful examples for years of the service network model, in which a regional VAR seeking a national footprint partners with often-smaller VARs, or even individuals, to service their customers where the regional VAR lacks coverage. Arizona's ACCRAM, for example, has used this approach for years. Today, the company relies on relationships forged through Ingram Micro, OnForce and its own alliances to provide nationwide hardware service, managing it all through its own browser-based dispatch tool and finely honed contract relationships with its partners, according to Bob Daquilante, president.
