Channel Live kicks off next week!

MSPs
Next Thursday, Channel Live 2022 opens its doors to the channel community. Here’s what to see and do at the event.

After two years of virtual meetings, resellers, MSPs, VARs, vendors, distributors, service providers and expert speakers will get together for Channel Live 2022 from 30-31 March at Birmingham’s NEC. Here are a few highlights to help you plan your visit.

DocuWare will be showcasing its cloud-based, out-of-the-box preconfigured solutions for document management and workflow automation. These solutions can be deployed, customised and integrated with VAR and reseller customer’s existing software within three days. At Channel Live, the company will be demonstrating how these solutions easily automate manual tasks related to invoice processing, document management and employee management.

On day two, DocuWare will host an educational session on “11 biggest challenges for SaaS sales”. Robert Fullam, the company's cloud sales expert, will conduct a detailed session on how software resellers can upskill their sales teams. This session will help attendees leverage the skills their teams already have and will teach them how to increase cloud-based solution sales.

Billing specialist Inform Billing will be spotlighting its API-driven Eclipse Next Generation software. The company works with resellers of all sizes to drive revenues and maximise profit through flexible and scalable billing solutions. Attendees can talk to Inform Billing about why the company could be a powerful billing partner.
