“A common challenge facing channel leaders and organizations is the translation of go-to-market programs and policies into efficient and effective automated workflows. Partnering with ZINFI will enable Channelnomics to extend its leading channel strategy and program design services into actionable processes and effective management that produces real, profitable results, “said Larry Walsh, founder and CEO of Channelnomics. “Working as a unified team, ZINFI and Channelnomics can help customers unlock the vast potential of an intelligent digital channel strategy.

These applications enable organizations selling via the channel to integrate the full spectrum of channel partner management activities—from recruitment, onboarding, training and certification to lead management, co-branded demand generation, sales performance and success, and on to fulfillment and renewal management. ZINFI’s modular design allows customers to enable and customize tools only as they need them to create solutions as simple or robust as their current business requirements.

Channelnomics offers a portfolio of research and channel development services, including channel and go-to-market strategy consulting, channel digital transformation planning and development, partner and customer experience management, rewards and incentive design, channel performance diagnostics, channel team and partner enablement services, quantitative and qualitative research services, and strategic content support.

In April 2020, ZINFI was named a leader in The Forrester Wave™: Through-Channel Marketing Automation, Q2 2020 report, receiving the highest possible (5 out of 5) scores in the criteria of “Product innovation roadmap,” “Pricing strategy,” “Supporting products and services” and “Number of employees.” The report states, “…what sets ZINFI apart is its commitment to modularity, which makes it equally appropriate for a small to medium-size business (SMB) that is automating its channel management for the first time or a large global manufacturer that is filling gaps or transforming its channel technology.” The report also notes ZINFI’s “…strong workflow and collaboration tools that optimize processes among ZINFI’s agency partners, partners’ enterprise customers, and ZINFI’s in-house multilingual (14 languages) partner marketing concierge services for lead, campaign, and MDF management.”

Later in 2020, ZINFI was also named a leader in another Forrester report: The Forrester Wave™: Partner Relationship Management Q4 2020 report, where ZINFI received 5 out of 5 (the highest possible) scores in the “Product innovation roadmap” criterion in the “Strategy” category and in the “Partner co-selling and co-marketing” criterion in the “Current offering” category.
