CCI Global Channel Management, the world’s leading provider of financial incentives, MDF and joint planning management software for major tech and telecom vendors, has released the results of its latest industry benchmark survey of channel vendor programs in software, hardware, and telecommunications industries.
The study explores:
- How the top IT vendors in each segment focus their channel marketing tactics; now and through the coming year.
- Assessment of the state of channel marketing automation, including how channel vendors automate their processes, capture and share information, and utilize partner data.
- How channel organizations are investing their limited budgets in various partner incentive approaches: MDF, Co-op, SPIFs, rebates, loyalty points, and more.
- How technology vendors of different sizes tend to operate their channel programs and invest their budgets differently.
- And numerous other topics.
Among the findings, the study revealed that 40% of vendor channel professionals admitted not having adequate access to the program and partner data needed to make informed decisions on a daily basis. Additionally, vendor channel professionals ranked “complex or cumbersome processes for partners” as the number one challenge their teams face today.
