“The more channel leaders nurture and foster community relationships, communication, and collaboration among their partners, the more engaged and loyal those partners become,” said Andrew Sutcliffe, CEO of OnSerro. “We are excited to partner with Zift Solutions to build brand loyalty, a sense of belonging, and better business intelligence for suppliers and their partners.”

Zift Communities are the latest contribution to fostering best practices and building a channel ecosystem that crosses industry divides. A strategic addition to the company’s current product offerings, Zift Communities are already being leveraged by some of Zift’s largest customers and are designed to deliver a first-class customer experience. Communities provide an informal location for customers to share ideas and discuss strategic aspects of the channel space via instant messaging, content posts, one-to-one, and group communications.

Within each unique Zift Community, customers and end-users can discuss trends and strategies in Channel Management, communicate with peers, and join discussion groups spanning channel-specific focus areas, such as Content Marketing, Partner Management, Lead Distribution, Business Intelligence, Reporting and more. Comprehensive reporting about community engagement also keeps channel organizations abreast of partner involvement. Zift Community sites enhance the Zift customer social experience by supplementing technical know-how with strategic vision and peer communication. Customers can use Zift Communities to listen, learn from, and engage with fellow customers as well as channel partners, share input on software development, examine channel insights and trends, as well as distribute educational materials.
