According to the CRN Emerging Tech Survey, the top reasons solution providers add
emerging technologies include, the technology is superior to other products in the market
segment; the technology compliments a solution providers' existing practice areas; emerging
vendors provide better services opportunities; emerging vendors pay better attention to
partners; emerging vendors offer higher margins, customers want alternative product
choices; and emerging vendors have better joint marketing programs. In addition, 61
percent of solutions providers surveyed plan to increase the number of emerging technology
vendors they partner with in the next 12 months.
"New and innovative vendor partners can help spur profitable new ideas that Solution
Providers can use to build revenue and customer loyalty, and the CRN Emerging Tech list
is where Solution Providers go to find these vendors," said Robert C. Demarzo, senior vice
president and editorial director, Everything Channel editorial.
Vendors who make the CRN Emerging Tech list must have an established solution
provider program and formal guidelines for recruiting channel partners. They must
demonstrate that its direct sales mix is trending down as evidenced by the company's
revenue history, a channel positive or channel neutral strategy for internal sales
compensation, and not be a dominant market share player. Final selection to the Emerging
Technology list was made at the discretion of the CRN editorial team after a review of the
submitted information and conversations with current or targeted partners.
"For MuseGlobal, the growth of our partner program is a true testament to the flexibility,
and reach of our technology," said Kristina Bivins, president, MuseGlobal. "The span of
our partnerships highlights the industry-wide need for a complete content integration
