Channel Alignment Workshop

The change from traditional one-time licensing model to recurring revenue model can be challenging for a software vendor. Questions such as change in cash-flow, sales model and channel structure will require the management to create a new business model that supports this business model change. While the Cloud creates new opportunities the operational changes can be significant and thus need to be planned well in advance.
