Summary

When B2B suppliers fail to effectively engage and collaborate with cloud partners (e.g., cloud providers, consultants/builders, referrers, agents, brokers, resellers, aggregators, integrators, migration providers), these relationships fall short of their potential. Suppliers must use five program components to choreograph partner engagement — incentives, communications, processes, training and relationships (see The Partner Engagement Framework).
