CHALLENGES WE SOLVE

As technology ecosystems evolve, the partner landscape is becoming increasingly dynamic—new partners emerge daily, partner churn is on the rise, and maintaining a high-performing ecosystem requires a structured, data-driven approach.

Go-to-Market & Growth Acceleration

Identifying the Right Partners
  • New partners are increasing by the day – But not all partners are the right fit. Many organizations struggle to identify high-value partners that align with their growth strategy.
  • Lack of data-driven partner selection – Partner selection is often driven by gut feel rather than a structured framework based on competencies, market potential, and execution capabilities.
High Partner Churn & Low Engagement
  • Constant partner churn & rotation – Many partners disengage or shift focus within a year, leading to unpredictable revenue contribution.

Dependence on frontline sales relationships – Without institutionalized engagement frameworks, partner management becomes fragmented and dependent on individual sales reps, increasing risks when personnel changes

Slow Partner Activation & Revenue Contribution
  • Long cycle from identification to activation – Converting a newly onboarded partner into a productive, revenue-generating entity often takes 6-12 months, delaying impact.
  • Ineffective partner enablement – Many partners lack the structured guidance, incentives, and tools needed to become active contributors within a quarter.

PARTNER ECOSYSTEMS

Enabler ONE is recognized as a Top 100 Partner Consulting Firm globally by Canalys for our deep specialization in building and scaling partner ecosystems for technology companies. We take a holistic, lifecycle-driven approach — spanning strategy, program design, activation, and ongoing optimisation — grounded not just in experience, but in real-world ecosystem intelligence through Channel Speak.

OUR PARTNER ECOSYSTEM PHILOSOPHY

At Enabler ONE, we believe partnerships must be designed based on where an organization is in its partnership lifecycle, not borrowed best practices. 

Our approach is anchored on:

This ensures partner ecosystems are scalable, measurable, and mutually beneficial, rather than opportunistic or transactional.

STRATEGIC PARTNER DESIGN: IDENTIFYING THE RIGHT PARTNERSHIP MODELS

From a strategic engagement perspective, Enabler ONE helps organizations identify what types of partnerships are actually required to support growth — rather than defaulting to familiar models.

Downward Network – Route-to-Market Expansion (typically for OEMs & Technology Vendors)

Distributors, resellers, VARs, and system integrators designed to extend market reach, scale sales capacity, and optimise geographic coverage — without over-distribution or channel conflict.

Upward Network – Portfolio & Capability Expansion (typically for SIs, MSPs, MSSPs, CSPs)

Alignment with the right OEMs and technology principals to strengthen solution portfolios, ensure differentiation, and enable profitable services-led growth.

Horizontal & Specialized Networks – Co-Sell & Alliances

Co-sell alliances between ISVs, OEMs, and vendors; services-to-services alliances; MSP/MSSP/CSP networks; and technology alliances that augment or embed capabilities — designed around joint value creation, not logo accumulation.

Each model is evaluated against offering maturity, GTM readiness, target customer profile, geography, and execution complexity.

PARTNER PROGRAMS, PROCESSES & GOVERNANCE

Once the right partnership models are defined, Enabler ONE helps build industry-relevant, scalable partner programs that can be operationalised across the organisation.

This includes:

This ensures partnerships are not a side function, but embedded into the GTM operating model.

CHANNEL SPEAK: ECOSYSTEM INTELLIGENCE AS A DIFFERENTIATOR

A key differentiator in Enabler ONE’s approach is Channel Speak — our ecosystem engagement and insight platform.

Channel Speak captures real-world insights from distributors, resellers, system integrators, MSPs, MSSPs, CSPs, and technology partners across EMEA, APAC, and select global markets. These insights help organisations understand:

By embedding Channel Speak into partner design and optimisation, E1 ensures ecosystems are market-aligned, partner-friendly, and execution-ready — not built on assumptions.

TACTICAL PARTNER ECOSYSTEM SERVICES (Activation, Optimisation & Scale)

For organisations with existing partner structures — or those we help design — Enabler ONE provides hands-on, execution-led services to ensure partnerships translate into real engagement, pipeline, and revenue.

Identifying & Connecting with the Right Partners
  • Using our Best Fit Partner Framework, we define your Ideal Partner Persona (IPP) and reach into our extensive network to identify, position, and secure positive concurrence from the right partners — ensuring the ecosystem built is mutually beneficial, not opportunistic.

Partner Onboarding, Launch & Activation
  • We ensure momentum is not lost post-connection due to poor follow-up or agreement bottlenecks. Beyond onboarding, we build 30-60-90 day launch plans so partners are activated immediately. For inactive partners, we identify root causes and run Activation Campaigns to move engagement from transactional to structured and repeatable.

Marketing to and through the Partner Network
  • Despite significant MDF/PDF spends, Channel Speak insights consistently show marketing and enablement remain top partner asks. Enabler ONE ensures these funds are deployed optimally, aligning partner marketing, training, and demand activities to measurable ROI rather than activity volume.

Auditing & Optimising Existing Partner Ecosystems
  • Many organisations operate in an 80:20 reality, where a small percentage of partners drive most revenue. We analyse what works with the top-performing partners and why others remain inactive — then rebalance the ecosystem to improve the active-to-inactive partner ratio.

Fractional Partnership Execution (Embedded Across All Stages)
  • All tactical services are supported by Enabler ONE’s fractional partnership teams — from Chief Partnership Officer as a Service to Partner Manager as a Service — enabling organisations to scale partnership impact quickly without building large internal teams upfront.

Why ENABLER ONE

We don’t just design partner strategies — we build, activate, and operate them. Our combination of execution capability, governance discipline, and ecosystem intelligence enables organisations to create partner ecosystems that deliver predictable pipeline, scalable revenue, and long-term partner loyalty.
