Description

This IDC study provides an analysis of channel marketing investment data from IDC's CMO Advisory 2006 Technology Marketing Benchmarks Survey, which includes guidance for IT vendors on marketing investment and allocation based on the level of indirect revenue activity and channel strategy maturity.

"IT vendors need to ensure they're managing channel marketing investments closely to align with the rise or decline in indirect business, otherwise they'll continue to have challenges in demonstrating channel marketing investment value and making decisions on the allocation of those limited budgets." ? Paul Edwards, director, SMB and Channel Strategies, IDC Canada
