The continued exponential drive towards everything as a service (XaaS) shows no sign of slowing down. For many vendors offering SaaS solutions, having the ability to configure and deploy customer solutions from anywhere seemed to offer an opportunity for Channel displacement. However, in practice, the realization for many vendors is that the Channel is still an important Go-To-Market vehicle to leverage.
As SaaS significantly changes the rules of the game in terms of pricing models, partner types needed, customer buying teams involved and customer adoption/engagement, the business of taking SaaS solutions to market is still relatively immature. As such, now is the time to capitalize on the Channel when taking your SaaS solutions to market.
