What SPs want from SP Summit 2013

As we come closer to kick start the most-awaited channel meeting of the year, SP Summit 2013, to begin on February 8 in Puri, Odisha, The DQ Channels brings you the event with the tagline "By the SPs, For the SPs, of the SPs" framed in tune with the objective to bring to you and discuss the most what you, as solution partners and decision makers want the most.

The SP Summit brings forward the CIOs, SPs and vendors under under one roof to share their achievements, resolve challenges and discuss strategies for future growth. The theme of the summit is 'Winning Bizz of Tech'. Technology is increasingly taking the direction towards a more targeted solutions approach. Every organization is looking at customized solutions that are capable of meeting their specific business requirements. Technology is seen more as not just a business enhancer, but more the driver of the entire business processes.

Even system integrators and solution providers are, therefore, today offering solutions that are specifically tailor-made for specific sectors or verticals. They might be targeting SMBs, mid-range corporates or large enterprises, but their offerings are more geared up to enhance the business processes of their customers.

In tune with the objective, DQ Channels asks you what you want out of the SP Summit 2013, how should be like and give you full control over the proceedings and the event format. So, this week, we present to you 10 feedback from attending delegates who have expressed their opinion and would like to hear from each of you over what you would like SP Summit 2013 to be.
