Welcome to SMBITPros - make sure to sign up for our RSS feed!

As Mike said - sorry about the long time period between posts we have been moving our Boston office and as always there are bumps to be overcome and people to get settled in.

That being said we should be back in action this week so stay tuned.

Anyway, i am curious if you all have had a chance to check out Dell’s guest post on why the channel should want to work with them? Are you all keeping up on with the Dell Channel blog? Are you finding value there?

I am curious as someone that has always been skeptical of Dell, is this helping you all feel more comfortable with their MSP play?

Let me know your thoughts when you have a moment and as always feel free to email me if you would prefer a private conversation: jclifford@everonit.com

Thanks,

JC

We are still striving to provide continuous and valuable content on the Dell Channel Blog, we’ve recently hit our one month mark and we’re proud of our progress so far. We’d like to hear more from our Partners and work even harder to promote your voices and offer guest writing opportunities. The blog will be an evolution over time, we’ve enjoyed the feedback so far and we’ll continue to listen and adapt our content.

In regards to our channel program, PartnerDirect, we have established various community tools to gather conversations and discussions with our Partners to help with our program development. Our latest addition is a PartnerStorm category on our IdeaStorm platform. Unlike our other social tools, PartnerStorm will allow for the submission of channel ideas and then have the community promote or demote them. Our executive team, led by Greg Davis, will review ideas based on popularity via community votes and how to best implement them into the PartnerDirect program.

Thank you,

Thanks for the post and I love the idea of Partner Storm. I would love to see a section specifically for MSPs going forward but I think it is a great step in making people feel heard.

I personally feel like the Dell channel blog is still just getting going and has not sparked the types of conversations and free flow of ideas I would like to see (and i am sure you would like to see) in the future.

I think many are still skeptical of Dell and a bit fearful of opening up in such an open forum but if you keep the conversations going people will eventually come around.
