• Business practices: Focusing on channel development, channel competition safeguards, experience in the managed services industry, etc.
• Product Roadmap: Examining the vendor’s willingness to invest in their products in order to ensure continued relevance for the MSPs on a continued basis.
• Financial: Examination of financial stability to ensure adequate support of channel initiatives and product development.
