Customers don’t want to simply buy products, Cloud, or ERP. They want to solve their problems in the least complicated way possible and trust the company they're working with. For that to happen, intentional partnerships and value-based initiatives are essential.
On this episode, we’re joined by
Doug Smith, Senior Vice President, Head of Strategic Partnerships and Global Partner Ecosystem at
Oracle. With his passion for building partnerships and solving customer pain points, Doug knows the name of the game regarding solution-focused systems and what that looks like at the ground level. He drives company wide value to ensure successful cross-selling and channel relationships.
Join us as we discuss:
- Three primary ways to gain value through partnerships
