About us
In today's fast-moving and innovative IT industry, business ecosystems have become highly competitive. There comes a point when the best way forward is to create strategic business alliances, refocus your resources and skills and create a shared, stronger goal for success. Apace can guide you though the minefield of a partnering program, developing and managing a systematic approach to building a competitive advantage, delivering revenue and growth.
"No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent,
a part of the main." John Donne
Our partnering philosophy is fundamentally based on a five dimensional systematic approach - Strategic, Operational, Cultural, Commercial and Technical, to obtain the most appropriate partnership and alliance strategy for your company. It may be that your business will not require all of the dimensions of our approach if you have already been working with partners in some form – but our approach will enable us to evaluate and determine the best route forward to achieve continued success.
The relevance of an alliance depends on the benefits, the match of priorities, the realistic joint business potential and execution power.
