Aligned to the market acceptance that transformation is now considered a default customer priority in ANZ, pressure is mounting on the partner ecosystem to overhaul age-old resell practices in response. Common rhetoric perhaps, but business buying patterns are shifting in the direction of services as new managed opportunities emerge across infrastructure, power and cooling.
