This book presents end-to-end channel management automation principles for midsize to large enterprises that are trying to bring their channel management infrastructure into the 21st century.

"We have been fortunate to have nearly one hundred deployments of our Unified Channel Management automation platform across the world for midsize to large enterprises," said Sugata Sanyal, founder and CEO of ZINFI. "Working with our customers globally, we have been able to capture a set of best practices for partner recruitment, engagement, enablement and management. By adopting these methodologies and principles, companies selling through the channel can significantly increase efficiency, reduce operating costs and automate profitable growth. Our vision is to guide customers in the implementation of three focused solution sets: partner relationship management, channel marketing management and channel sales management. This book covers multiple best practices for each of these core areas in channel management automation."

ZINFI is among the select group of companies that Forrester recently invited to participate in its 2016 Forrester Wave™ evaluation of partner relationship management platform vendors.
