Addressing Building Effective Partnerships


New Direction for the System Integrator Community?

In your efforts in building relationships, teaming partnerships and developing your marketing communication strategies we all know that it can be a real challenge to keep up with the direction and interest of the System Integrator community.

So it is always nice to see market studies that address growing areas of interest to this important community.

Below are excerpts from a recent market research study conducted by Market Connections (www.marketconnectionsinc.com) that focused on the Government System Integration community. Market Connections conducts a number of surveys, studies and other research in the areas of Government and Government behavior.

So why is it important to understand the SIs areas of interest?  Well, so that when communicating with the SIs, you can map your offerings to their key focus areas.

To attract attention from the SI community you need to connect to what they care about most.  You need to communicate how you can support them in what they believe are their areas of focus and growth.

Slide 1 shares what SI's believe to be their top 10 business opportunities.

 

Slide 2  shares their view of top changes in strategy/initiatives in relation to the new administration.

 

I'm a big believer in research, especially when it provides the top areas of concerns, emerging markets. and/or direction on how Systems Integrators may be approaching the Government solutionsmarket.

Happy Partnering!

About PS Partnerships

President and CEO Scott W. Lewis has more than 15 years of experience in public sector information technology. As Group Publisher of Government Computer News and Washington Technology, Vice President of INPUT, Vice President of Partner Development of Micro Warehouse Gov/Ed and Vice President of ENC Marketing & Communications, Lewis has worked with numerous information technology firms in the development and execution of their channel/partnering business and marketing strategies into the Public Sector (Federal, State & Local)

Over the years, Lewis found that many companies either did not understand how or had difficultly in establishing the partnerships and teaming relationships that are absolutely critical for success in the government market. So he established PS Partnerships in July 2005 to focus directly on helping companies build strategies and partnerships for doing business in the public sector.
