“The vendors on this list represent the best of the best for their category. We’ve identified the top vendors to consider based on technology investment, use cases, strategic vision, customer value, executive leadership and price.”
AppDirect is a unique player in the partner management market with a focus on the next generation PARM. AppDirect delivers partner solutions uniquely suited to companies that are building technology ecosystems where partners not only resell products but are creating subscription software and services that are co-sold with those core products. The AppDirect Subscription Commerce Platform includes multiple modules enabling companies to get started quickly and expand over time. These include marketplaces, billing, commission and reconciliation management, and others, all of which support partner ecosystem transformation.
“Delivering PARM in the new world of subscriptions and partner co-sell requires new types of partner ecosystem solutions,” said Daniel Saks, co-CEO of AppDirect. “Providers in telecommunications, software, manufacturing, financial services and many other industries need solutions that help them with the complexity of the subscription lifecycle via partners. Additionally, reseller partners are now becoming co-sell partners adding intellectual property of their own to marketplace ecosystems and app stores of the core products they have traditionally sold. A new generation of PARM is required to manage that complexity. We are honored that Constellation Research has recognized AppDirect, and highlighted ‘…the big advancements in PARM over the past year includes the ability to orchestrate alliance and network ecosystem programs…’ in the report.”
