Synopsis

Abstract

This IDC study examines the anatomy of channel partners in Canada as well as the state of current vendor-partner relationships. This IDC Canada research and analysis yields valuable insight, prediction, and prescription for vendors on how to grow and sustain meaningful, accurately aligned relationships with VARs, product-oriented, service-oriented, and logistics-oriented partners.

"Vendors should help partners segment and attack their target buyers as an extension of the vendor's segmentation strategies. Aligning with organizations that have a similar set of interests and focus is a natural first step in finding the right partners." ? Ricky Mak, Associate Analyst, Customer Segments
