When In Rome, Know Your MarketsAt our IT ChannelVision event taking place this week in Rome, Everything Channel President Robert Faletra advised vendors and solution providers to learn which business models worked best in which global markets: "Faletra said North American partners have moved well beyond the infrastructure buildup phase where the reseller model once worked. At the same time, that reseller approach is applicable in China where there is a huge infrastructure buildup taking place, he said." In other news from Rome, Steven Burke reports that Partners Forecast Robust 2008 Sales Growth: "Europe's top solution providers aren't feeling the ill-effects of an economic downturn. Solution providers... said hot products like notebooks for gamers and services muscle are fueling robust sales growth this year." In addition, Intel is on hand to launch its new program for European systems integrators while Microsoft is urging system builders to enhance their services business models.
