HUNTINGTON, N.Y., July 26, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Compliancy Group today announced that Marc Haskelson, President/CEO has joined the Business Applications Advisory Council of CompTIA, the leading trade association for the global technology industry. As a member of the council, Marc Haskelson will help drive CompTIA's efforts to educate SaaS companies on progressive go-to-market growth strategies for selling business solutions using a dedicated sales channel.

Marc has over 25 years of sales, marketing, and operational leadership experience, and has held executive positions at Hearst Publications, Experian, and AT&T. He is an innovator who develops new products and solutions to address the challenges of the small and midsize market. Marc sits on the CompTIA Business Applications Advisory Council and is a Visionary Level Contributor to the American Optometric Association Political Action Committee. He focuses his knowledge of compliance, technology, security, customer care, and payment processing on improving market inefficiencies.

He co-founded Compliancy Group in 2005 with HIPAA subject matter experts and top software developers. Together, they used their expertise in sales marketing, compliance, and technology to bring Compliance-as-a-Solution to the healthcare IT industry.

The Business Applications Advisory Council is focused this year on driving business growth of SaaS companies and their solution providers, and Marc's expertise will be integral to driving those efforts.

"With the breadth of his experience in our industry, Marc is a strong addition to our Business Applications Advisory Council," said Annette Taber, CompTIA's vice president for industry outreach. "His insights into the business of technology – how it is developed, marketed, influenced, purchased and deployed – will help guide the actions we take as an advisory council, an association, and an industry."

Haskelson states, "The industry is evolving. Compliance, security, and business solutions are merging into one. Organizations that understand this, and are part of the evolution, will earn the lion share of the market. I'm proud to be part of CompTIA's Business Applications Advisory Council, working with industry leaders to better serve the MSPs and their clients."

The CompTIA Business Applications Advisory Council includes executives from organizations that deliver cloud software platforms and applications specifically developed for the line-of-business buyer seeking to achieve specific objectives. The council also includes specialized partners – such as CPAs and digital marketing agencies – who influence the sale of these solutions to line of business managers within organizations.

This year, the council's strategies include:

• Understanding vertical market and line of business buyer needs and connecting them with the right SaaS solutions
• Identifying the current skills needed in the SaaS Solution Provider space
• Distinguishing programs SaaS vendors should build for customers and prospects
• Continuing to ensure CompTIA's resources and expertise reach relevant business application providers
