Channel Lifecycle Management
Channel Lifecycle Management
In the computer networking industry, there are typically four stages
when installing network infrastructure– PDIO – Plan, Design,
Implement and Operate. Building and nurturing channels for mutual
revenue and profit requires similar steps across the channel life cycle.
We call this Channel Life Cycle Management (PDOx2) -- Plan and
Prepare, Design and Deliver, Operate and Optimize and Measure
Bottom Line Results
