Through a new, global partnership, Impartner and The Sherpa Group intend to drive Partner Experience with a “combination of best-in-class technology, support and services for every stage of the Partner journey.”
Impartner, the world’s most complete channel management platform and Partner Relationship Management (PRM) provider, and The Sherpa Group, the award-winning Channel Growth specialists, have announced a new strategic partnership. The new alliance will accelerate the opportunity for Channel Vendors by combining best-in-class technology with expert-led services.
With 80% of the broader Channel ecosystem being non-transactional, Vendors are aggressively moving from traditional revenue and profit-based measurements, to prioritizing things like co-innovation and value creation, but the challenge for Vendors is being able to measure these new metrics. In order to deliver scale and drive growth, Vendors are shifting their focus towards Partner Experience in order to engage the new ideal Partners.

“The end result will mean that Partner Experience will be at the forefront of everything we, and Impartner, deliver for Vendors, which is the only way to create cut-through in the face of increased competitive activity.”
The agreement will immediately see new closer working between the two businesses, with the underlying principle being to drive Partner Experience throughout the Channel.
