Where’s the Money? Revenue Opportunities in Payment Solutions
Savvy IT channel partners – VARs, MSPs, SIs, agents, etc. – are well aware of the extreme innovation happening in payments technology. The move to chip cards was a windfall for IT solutions providers helping businesses migrate their point-of-sale systems. But the evolution continues and presents a significant opportunity for indirect channel partners to make money selling, implementing and integrating new payment technologies and platforms. In this session, we’ll identify revenue opportunities for partners of various business models and skill sets.

Speakers:

Chester Ritchie, Payment Executive, Private Investor

Similarly, the explosion in alternative payments solutions means a crowded market of competitive technologies and providers. In this session, we’ll discuss how to leverage the indirect channel as a smart go-to-market strategy.
