The Opportunity: Grow in the Cloud
The conference is also exploring the topic of cloud brokerages – becoming the single source for all a client’s digital needs.
SMBs are turning to digital solutions to help manage their business more than ever before, and 66% would prefer to work with a trusted cloud expert. Further, a 2016 Accel Partners/Google report predicts SMB spending on SaaS solutions will significantly outpace enterprise spending on SaaS by 2020.
“Millions of companies in marketing, publishing, broadcasting, directories, MSPs, ISPs, finance, insurance, telecos, and more stand to benefit from this shift,” said Vendasta CEO Brendan King. “This conference is the starting line for channel partners who are positioned to grow and meet this increasing demand.”
