Vendor


The end-user is the ultimate destination for your products and services, HOWEVER, the reseller channel is the vehicle that allows you to reach that destination. Even if you know the road you are taking, you still have to get there. That is why the relationship with the reseller channel is such an important one.

Michael Durr & Associates interviews VARs, resellers, and system integrators to learn their areas of interest and concern. We examine how they are growing their businesses and how vendors can create successful realtionships and partnerships with the channel. Using this information, we have developed services that enable the vendor to develop more powerful programs and packages to improve their channel sales.
