A Territory Model for Teamwork Future State Current State Avaya Cam TAM Avaya Cam TAM Partner Sales IS / Mkt / Svcs Partner Sales IS / Mkt / Svcs Avaya Partner Customer Customer Partner Avaya Desired Objectives Current State • TAMs focused strongly on End Users • Partners used for pure fulfillment – not leverage • Avaya Channel CAM used for deal administration • Non-existent TAM-to-Partner alignment – other than deal processing. • TAMs NOT involved in Partner recruitment or enablement • TAMs are “quarterback” for territory • TAMs leverage CAMs and Partners for demand generation and customer coverage • TAM accountable for territory growth – with and through legacy and new partners
