Creating a partner program is no simple task. A program framework will outline all the benefits you can offer to a partner, and all the requirements you’d like to receive from a partner. It will define your relationship and govern the terms of your engagement. The “Channel”, as we know it, has evolved. It seems like new channel types are being born daily and the demand and monetization of cloud/SaaS have reshaped the way vendors and partner work together.
