Many technology partners want to expand into cloud communications without becoming experts in every operational detail behind the service.
That’s a reasonable goal.
A strong partner model shouldn’t force VARs and MSPs to choose between maintaining control of the customer relationship and taking on billing, taxation, number porting, E911 responsibilities, platform support, and every other back-end requirement.
The better approach is shared ownership.
Partners should be able to lead the customer experience, configure solutions, and build recurring revenue while relying on a provider that handles the complex infrastructure and administrative work behind the scenes.
Partnership works best when each company gets to focus on what it does well, without losing visibility or control.
