Raven Insights – Fall 2021 Hello there, When it comes to digital transformation–every software customer wants a successful and painless implementation experience, and every software vendor and consulting partner wants a reference-able customer at the end. But based on what we know, having studied over 1,200 Enterprise Software projects, that doesn’t always happen! Raven Intel was created to help customers find the best partners for their projects, and provide software vendors and partners a platform to showcase the proof of their project success through the voice of the customer. The raven, a highly intelligent bird who has a keen sense of knowing who to trust, has been an emblem to our company. Our mission since Raven Intel started over 3 years ago has not changed, and we’re committed to supporting our industry with a ‘birds-eye view’ and the data and intelligence necessary for confidence in the partner selection process. Because this word is so foundational to our company, no abbreviation is necessary and we’re delighted to announce we’ve updated our name to Raven Intelligence. Thank you for being a part of our flight! Bonnie Tinder |

Most Enterprise Software vendors rely on a Channel Partners network to extend the value and reach of their products. Microsoft has said that for every $1 of software they sell, partners make $9. It’s the same with SAP, Salesforce, Workday, Oracle, and others. The opportunity for channel partners in this time of explosive cloud growth is huge, but managing and growing a partner ecosystem is both an art and science. Read on to learn our 10 rules for software vendors to ensure their partner ecosystem is foundational to success. |
