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. This session will break down Partnerships and explore the following topics for various corporate stages (eg. startup and beyond) with senior executives from our community who have developed and implemented partnership strategies across multiple businesses in their careers.

  • Types of Partnerships:

    • Cloud Service Provider and Marketplaces
    • Service Delivery/System Integrators
    • White Label/OEM
  • Difference between Tactical and Strategic Partnerships
  • Legal and Contractual Considerations for Tech and Biz Partnerships
