SCALING PARTNERS
Support established partners as they strengthen their commercial models, capabilities and customer relevance.
FOR TECHNOLOGY DISTRIBUTORS
Your position across vendors, partners and market demand gives you a unique opportunity to help technology partners navigate change and build stronger businesses.
Channel Intelligence brings partner-business expertise, market perspective and practical intelligence to strengthen your teams, partner engagement and growth programs.
THE PARTNER LANDSCAPE IS CHANGING
Technology partners are becoming more sophisticated, specialised and focused on customer outcomes. As they scale, they will expect more from the distributors they choose to build with.
Support established partners as they strengthen their commercial models, capabilities and customer relevance.
Identify emerging businesses with the ambition and potential to become significant contributors to the channel.
Give the right partners the right support at the right stage of growth.
The next generation of partners will choose distributors for more than supply.

EXPERIENCE IN PRACTICE
Beyond Distribution
Channel Intelligence delivered the Beyond Distribution session at Dicker Data’s sales kick-off.
The session explored the changing partner landscape, the commercial pressures facing technology partners and the expanding role distributors can play in supporting partner growth.
WHY CHANNEL INTELLIGENCE
Channel Intelligence combines 17 years of Microsoft ANZ channel leadership with hands-on work helping technology partners clarify direction, strengthen operations and improve performance.
We understand distributor and vendor priorities, but our perspective begins with the partner business.
