Good evening, channel partners. Welcome to our latest ChannelE2E Podcast  — co-hosted by Content Czar Joe Panettieri and CompTIA CEO Todd Thibodeaux.

Our guests from Salesforce are:

  • Neeracha Taychakhoonavudh, VP of Salesforce's partner program and marketing
  • Dylan Steele, senior director product marketing for Salesforce's App Cloud & IoT Cloud

We discuss the overall Salesforce partner ecosystem -- including the diversity of IT consulting firms, app developers, ISVs and more. We also explore the mix of project- and recurring-revenue business models. Plus, Taychakhoonavudh describes the partner ecosystem's growth and evolution toward big data, the Internet of Things (IoT) and more. At about the 14-minute mark, Thibodeaux transitions the conversation to Steele, who describes how initial IoT partners are working with Salesforce and customers.

Here's the podcast:

This is the latest in a multi-part podcast series, in which CompTIA and ChannelE2E explore the evolving partner ecosystem with a range of channel leaders.
