The Future of the IT Channel - Vertical System Reseller (VSR) Business Optimization Summit Keynote
Channel Change Agents: Keynote Speaker: Jay McBain, Co-Founder, ChannelEyes The last few years have been some of the most disruptive in terms of technological innovation in the channel and the reseller community. Between the huge push for new technologies that can better target consumers and the development and acceptance of software and analytics, the time is perfect for solution providers to adapt, advance and restructure their businesses to meet this new demand. In the past few years, there has been an obvious shift in the traditional VAR business model and the part resellers play in the grand machination that is the Channel. Business models have been altered, new solutions have been adopted and the role of the VAR has moved from that of integrator to consultant. The biggest metamorphosis, however, is currently playing out, and that’s the solution provider as change agent. Where once, VARs were called upon only to refresh and update existing systems or when a technology would break down, today’s solution providers are being relied on to help their end-users build better relationships with their consumers, solve business problems that have yet to be defined and, in some cases, save their clients’ businesses from stagnation and closure. This year, VSR’s Business Optimization Summit is expanding westward with a second conference in San Diego, CA, featuring tons of business-building seminars, networking opportunities and discussions on how to help your end-users thrive, while expanding your own company. The executives you’ll hear from share their stories about specific initiatives – what they learned, what pitfalls they experienced and how they achieved success. Industry analysts share up-to-the-minute research results and facts on industry trends to keep you informed and on course for solid business growth. VARs and ISVs will have the opportunity to network with other high-level solution integrators as well as executives from some of the leading technology manufactures in the Channel.
