Independent Research Firm's Partner Relationship Management (PRM) Platforms Report

As channel professionals look to manage partner ecosystems of increasing complexity, it is clear that legacy PRM solutions have become outdated and no longer capable of delivering the required level of service. Fresh approaches to partner performance management are evolving and it is vital that the new breed of PRM Platforms keep pace with these ever changing requirements.

The Planet Group was among the select companies that Forrester Research Inc invited to participate in its November 2013 report, "The Forrester Wave™ Partner Relationship Management (PRM) Platforms, Q4 2013". In this evaluation, The Planet Group was cited as a strong performer, and given the highest scores among all reviewed vendors for four categories: Lead Management, MDF/Co-Op Management, Partner System of Record and Financial and Partner Program Management.
