WW SPO “AE for the Channel” Program. Wardley. Program Outline.
E N D
Program Outline The following text is a draft for positioning purposes and is likely to change as WW SPO engages and gains agreement with and from WW AE as to how it would like to deploy AE into the indirect channel at large.AE is a high profile customer engagement and marketing program. The customer engagement aspect is being driven out of the AE organization directly. It seeks to engage directly with up to 50 or so “selected” customers. This aspect of the program has no leverage for SPO or channel partners and there is no role for this aspect of the AE program for indirect channel partners or SPO.The AE marketing program however has potential for indirect channel partner because AE represents the over-arching message for HP in the computer systems space. Currently each of the regions is implementing their own model and plan for AE and the channel. The role of WW SPO will be to: - Leverage individual regional efforts across all regions, whilst gaining coverage and buy in from the WW AE Team for those program element - Ensure that the WW AE program office incorporates SPO and partner business requirements into their program planning and deliverables. - Ensure SPO is executing against the agreed AE plans through partnersSimply put, purposes of this program is to enable partners to be a complementary player and use the AE story to augmenting HP’s offerings with their own skills, and create new opportunities from within their user base.
