These days, most enterprises have an expansive ecosystem of partners that they co-sell with, which requires extensive account mapping.

What is alliance success and how do you define it? It seems such a simple question, yet it can lead to lengthy discussions. Some people will immediately connect alliance success to the amount of revenue an alliance generates. If that is the universal view of alliance success, then how should we measure the success of development alliances, those that don’t generate any revenue at all?
