TOPIC: Enterprise Software/SaaS Partnership Strategy
Having a well planned partnership strategy is fundamental to the success of Software and SaaS businesses. The depth and breadth of these different partnerships (per below) has evolved over time and the dominance of SaaS has added to the complexity. Partnership strategy dictates market reach and penetration, revenue, and often an exit.
