How do channel partners view their vendors? How do vendors view their partners? Is it a duel or a dance? How far can manufacturers see down the channel? Which incentives motivate partners and which don't? Based on a survey conducted by an independent research firm, the Silicon Valley Research Group, this eBook offers information and insights on all these questions, and more. The book provides foundational information to help with channel partner management and offers best practices for channel data management that can help you strengthen and improve your partnerships – resulting in channel sales growth.
Best Practices for Channel Incentive ProgramsChannelinsight
Our purpose here is to examine channel incentive programs for best practices. What types of programs are manufacturers and
vendors using today? Which programs do channel partners respond to, and why? How do you measure success? How can
programs be improved? We’ll answer these questions and more,
drawing on experience and research conducted with practitioners who derive a majority of their income from the channel.
CCI conducted a study in Q4 of 2012 to assess the utilization of various incentive program types and their relative importance and/or effectiveness as perceived by both the vendor community and its channel partners. The incentive program types spanned a broad range to include: Co-op/MDF, sales performance rebates, SPIFs, opportunity management, purchase incentives, and more. Separate surveys were tailored for vendor and partner audiences with the goal of identifying similarities, as well as differences, between the two (manufacturers/vendors and their channel partners). This presentation also addresses how the perception of incentive programs has evolved since CCI's 2010 survey. The results will surprise you!

Channel Incentives And Loyalty ProgramsChannel Sales
A channel incentive campaign offers channel partners something that motivates, rouses, or encourages specific behavior. Often focused on a specific product or within a finite time period, the incentive itself comes in the form of a bonus or reward, often monetary or other benefit in kind. A well executed channel incentive program creates a virtuous circle in which both channel partner and vendor are motivated to collaborate to attain improved performance and achieve pre-defined goals.

One thing everyone can agree on is that the “new buyer’s journey” is changing how customers buy everything from cars to firewalls. The traditional roles of sales and marketing are changing like never before. Add the complexity of selling through an indirect channel and things can start to feel pretty complicated. The good news is that there are practical approaches that help align channel marketing and sales to help smooth these seemingly troubled waters.

Indirect Channel Incentives and Loyalty ProgramsRelayware, Inc.
Spiff programs, tactical incentives, points-for-prizes, cash cards, rebates and discounts – the methods adopted to incentivize indirect channels to sell more are numerous and yet most simply reward companies and individuals for making sales that would have happened anyway. Building loyalty and providing incentives to reward positive behavior is both an art form and a science. This enlightening whitepaper uncovers best practices used by some of the most successful channel marketers and challenges us to consider whether simply being a pleasure to do business with might be incentive enough for our indirect channels.

Deal Registration - Channel Chiefs Council Webinar - Jay McBain - Dec 2016Jay McBain
The Canadian Channel Chiefs Council (C4) is hosting a first of its kind webinar on a topic that has become the most hotly debated area in the channel today: deal registration. Taking place on Dec. 13th at 1 PM ET, the webinar will feature noted channel professional Jay McBain of ChannelEyes to outline what the future holds for deal registration programs in light of the recent announcement by Salesforce.com on its new Einstein tool.
Einstein is an artificial intelligence tool that promises to take all the data that organizations have dutifully been capturing to their CRM for years and put it to good use, at first making recommendations about what leads sales reps should call first, or what personalization path is most appropriate for a marketing campaign.
McBain, who was a channel executive at Lenovo and with AutoTask, intends to provide the audience of this webinar new information on how artificial intelligence and machine learning is going to impact the channel. He believes tools such as Einstein are an exciting new thing that’s going to rapidly change the way vendors look at deal registration today. McBain’s ChannelEyes organization works to provide real-time sales intelligence for channel professionals.
But Einstein is not the only topic of discussion for this webinar. McBain also plans on unveiling new strategies on deal registration for those who are still developing their channel structure and programs. He also has ideas for what to do in terms of conflict resolution and the rules of engagement when it comes to deal registration.
McBain also plans on answering questions from channel chiefs and other channel professionals at the webinar.

Gone are the days when partners fought to establish their credentials with a large vendor. Today, it’s the vendors themselves who are under increasing pressure to ‘wow’ partners whom themselves can have multiple relationships with multiple tech companies. The good news is that we have a few ‘wow’ tricks up our sleeves, and can point to a proud track record of activating and empowering partners.
So what’s your ‘next best move’? Well, by downloading our eBook on you’ll find some useful insights, hints, and tips to get you started..
Industry 4.0: Technology Insights for Channel Program OptimizationSeth Jacobsen
The concept of Industry 4.0 – also known as the fourth industrial revolution – is mostly rooted in data, analytics, autonomous learning, and the Internet of Things. The impact of smart technology, however, is not limited to the supply chain and manufacturing operations. Opportunities to innovate exist in the sales and distribution channel as well. Of course, the ultimate goal is to reduce costs, increase productivity and market share, and drive revenue growth.

Incentives: The Secret Ingredient of a Successful Channel Enablement StrategySeth Jacobsen
When it comes to enabling your sales channels, it’s important to have partners you can count on to help you move your products effectively and efficiently.
But how do you design and implement a channel strategy that will get their buy in and enable them to succeed? It’s all a matter of asking the right questions.
Measuring Customer-Experience ROI with social mediaMichael Wolfe
Validates and describes a very innovative and powerful approach for measuring the customer-brand-experience using social media experiential commentary. Not only is this a brea-through, but demonstrates the importance and value of the CX for brands.
Getting the funds you need to run and grow a channel organization can be a struggle. Often channel teams are the key path to much or all of a company’s revenue, yet are often woefully underfunded. You may be a superstar at partner marketing or sales strategy, but why do you often hear ‘no’ when trying to fund what you know you need to be successful?
The good news is you don’t need to be a financial or legal expert to run and grow a program. But you do need to understand what to pay attention to, and how to measure it, and how to talk about it with the rest of the company.
Today’s marketing leadership is being tasked with creating lasting relationships and loyalty among their customer base.
Yet so much of how we engage with customers and prospects is campaign driven, activating specific actions in a single moment in time.
As the development of a robust and connected customer experience strategy becomes the linchpin to CMO success, the question is now more important than ever: Can loyalty and advocacy be built…and how?
This presentation walks through some of the challenges and considerations CMO need to explore in order to reframe how their brands engages their customers like never before.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved.
