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. To see the details behind RHUB’s

"New 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.
