Transforming your business model

The change from a traditional on-premises business model to Office 365 App business model will require re-assessment of your long-term vision, mission and go-to-market strategy. Based on our experience, many organizations lack a well-articulated vision of how to transform its business model to a subscription-based business model. We have worked with tens of organizations helping both software vendors and system integrators to re-think how to move into Office 365 world.

Identifying channel opportunities

Once a software vendor has identified an optimal channel profile for an Office 365 app, the assumptions need to be validated and outreach to potential channel partners needs to be executed. This process provides the foundation for the software vendor to understand whether the solution value proposition has been defined in the right way and if the channel sees a benefit of the solution.
