Commoditization and over-competition is rife across today’s tech industry. If you are a technology business, it’s important that you can demonstrate more value and in turn, become more relevant to your customer. The good news is - this is achievable, but it requires proactive management of your customers’ IT investment strategy. Discover how to protect existing revenue and expand customer lifetime value through proactive management of your entire installed base, in this vlog.
