And, after living in 4 different states, traveling around the world, and spending the bulk of my life in Orange County, CA, I find [...]

Posted by webappeng-admin at 2:41 PM
Earlier this year saw one of the biggest leaps forward in how AMD manages its relationships with its technology partners. As you probably know, on the 30th September 2009 all of our existing EMEA technology partners, around 180 in total, were welcomed into our newly designed AMD Fusion Partner Program.

Today Microsoft officially launches Windows 7. This means that retailers and etailers can now sell systems pre-loaded with the new OS, along with standalone versions of the software to upgrade existing systems.

Read MoreSales Enablement: Finding what you are looking for in sales and marketing content
Posted by David Kenyon at 3:00 PM
Today’s channel partners participate in multiple vendor programs, are barraged by content everyday from over-eager marketing product managers, and likely have terabytes of storage taken up with stale presentations that are never opened once they hit the spinning platters. Sales enablement of channel partners through well-placed and designed content, training and knowledge management, is not just a critical competitive advantage for manufacturers, it’s an experience as rare as a hole-in-one in my lackluster golf game.
