  • SHARE:

Challenge

A global technology company struggled to effectively track and analyze the performance of its partner ecosystem. Disparate data sources and a lack of centralized reporting made it difficult to assess partner contributions, identify growth opportunities, and align resources with strategic goals. Key challenges included:

    • Limited visibility into partner sales and training activities.
    • Inconsistent metrics and definitions across regions and partner types.
    • Difficulty identifying high-performing partners and growth opportunities.

Solution

G2M Insights partnered with the client to design and implement the “Partner 360” dashboard, a comprehensive reporting and analytics solution that centralized data and provided actionable insights. The project involved three key components:

    1. Data Integration and Standardization:
      • Consolidated data from multiple sources, including Salesforce, certifications, webinars, and partner activities, to create a unified data environment.
      • Standardized key metrics and definitions to ensure consistency across regions and partner types.
    2. Dashboard Development:
      • Developed an interactive Partner 360 dashboard to track key performance indicators (KPIs), such as net annual recurring revenue (ARR) wins, gross wins, training activities, and funnel metrics.
      • Designed the dashboard to provide granular insights into partner performance by region, type, and service category.
    3. Insights and Enablement:
      • Conducted a comprehensive analysis of partner performance, identifying that the top 10 partners accounted for 85% of gross ARR wins.
      • Provided actionable recommendations to re-engage underperforming partners and optimize resource allocation.

Key Outcomes

The Partner 360 initiative delivered measurable benefits, including:

    • Enhanced Visibility: Enabled the client to track sales and training activities for all active partners, providing a clear view of performance and growth opportunities.
    • Improved Decision-Making: Centralized reporting and actionable insights empowered leadership to align resources with high-impact opportunities.
    • Stronger Partner Engagement: Insights from the dashboard informed targeted strategies to re-engage partners and drive collaboration.
    • Scalable Reporting: The dashboard provided a foundation for ongoing analysis, supporting long-term growth and strategic planning.

Conclusion

This project demonstrated the transformative impact of advanced reporting and analytics on partner performance management. By providing a unified view of partner activities and outcomes, the Partner 360 dashboard enabled the client to optimize its partner ecosystem and achieve greater alignment with strategic objectives.
