Specializations
CF: How does your organization work with Kevin Ichhpurani’s (formerly Carolee Gearhart’s) group?
JA:: We have a very tight partnership with Kevin’s teams. The global partner team sets our global agenda to support our partners, and we act locally with that agenda to bring partners in North America into the right customer engagements at the right time. Our Specializations program is a great example of this. Kevin’s team, who leads our global Partner Advantage program, is doing an awesome job launching new specializations that enable partners to demonstrate their depth of experience in a particular product area. Our team can then connect those specialized partners to the North American customer accounts where they can add value.
