4. Customers need to Collaborate with Partners Every business depends on its partners whether it be resellers, manufacturers, suppliers etc. In the software space the three tier structure (vendors – distributors –resellers) is very common and S2S fully supports this model. Bottom line, in our surveys we found a great majority of our customers generate over 70% of their revenue through partners and therefore collaboration is an important to this relationship.

5. Cross-company collaboration is very difficult
6. Until Now. Connect and Collaborate with Partners in Clicks Customers can easily share CRM data such as leads and opportunities with their partners in a few clicks. The process is very similar to consumer social networking sites such as linkedin and facebook. You send a contact an invitation to connect, the contact accepts the invitation, both sides work together to define the ‘rules of engagement’ –i.e. what objects and fields to share and finally both sides can now start explicitly sharing one or more records. It’s simple, flexible and extremely secure.Customers can easily share CRM data such as leads and opportunities with their partners in a few clicks.
