LONDON, Oct. 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- SiriusDecisions Summit --Impartner, the world's largest and fastest-growing pure-play Partner Relationship Management (PRM) company, today announced the Fall '17 release of its multi-award winning Impartner PRM software, which ushers in a new era of precision in partner management that allows vendors to surgically deliver the exact "care and feeding" each partner in their system needs to optimize their performance. With the new release, the Impartner segmentation engine, Impartner SegmentAI, segments vendors' partners automatically and intelligently by attributes like tier, region or type of partner (referral, MSP, etc.). Plus, the company's new asset management system, Impartner SmartContent, means vendors can get exactly the right content to exactly the right partner at exactly the right time, based on their segmentation.
"In 2017, partner programs that only utilize one type of partner are an anomaly," said SiriusDecisions Channel Sales Strategies Services Director Chris Cleary, a topic that was recently covered in the SiriusDecisions Channel Partner Segmentation Matrix core strategy report, downloadable here. "Most B-2-B suppliers have developed relationships with many types of channel partners, yet few have the resources to engage effectively with all of them. As a result, suppliers tend to focus on top producers, the top 10 percent to 20 percent of the partner ecosystem and miss the opportunity to nurture other types of partners -- the other 80 percent. We see tremendous opportunity for suppliers to optimize performance by implementing proven frameworks, processes and tools. Until today, those tools have been missing."
Impartner Senior Director of Product Management Gary Sabin echoes this need in the market. "One of the most common issues prospects raise in our sales conversations is their inability to provide the right kind of care, of every kind of partner, beyond just the big guys," Sabin said. "Inevitably, the performance of their channel suffers because they just don't have the organizational bandwidth to truly service the broader range of partner types in their network. With our Fall '17 release, we bring the full power of partner program segmentation and asset delivery, ensuring each partner essentially gets a customized partner experience that is laser focused on helping their business accelerate performance?regardless of partner type."
Following is a full summary of the key features of the Fall '17 release:
1. Segmentation Engine, Impartner SegmentAI: The segmentation engine in the Impartner '17 Fall Release, Impartner SegmentAI, is the first of its kind in the market and makes it easy for companies to automate the segmentation of their partner programs based on completely configurable set of machine filters, which takes the need for human interaction out of the process. The feature assures that vendors can easily optimize the partner experience for any type of partner program. Now, whether vendors have a host of referral partners, a blend of traditional and born in the cloud partners, or all of the above, they can have confidence they have a personalized "front door" and partner experience for all of them.
2. Asset Automation Engine, Impartner SmartContent: With Impartner's Asset Automation engine, Impartner SmartContent, vendors can automatically ensure that the right partner gets the right asset at the right time, based on their segmentation. The criticality of an ever-improving content management solution is highlighted by a recent global study of Impartner customers, showing that with the right sales enablement materials, their partners are 56 percent more profitable.
