Powering the Next-Gen Partner Ecosystem
In today’s platform-driven economy, hyperscalers and enterprise tech giants recognize that sustainable growth comes not just from products but from a vibrant, high-impact partner ecosystem. Zinnov is the strategic partner of choice for 80% of the large and mid-sized ISVs including cloud players because we don’t just advise, we design, activate, and scale ecosystems that unlock new revenue streams and business models.
Whether you’re building a new partner program or scaling an existing one, Zinnov enables you to design and optimize partner strategies that drive revenue, unlock new markets, and deliver measurable customer impact.
Our proprietary methodology spans the three critical phases of the partner lifecycle:
Design → Assess → Scale enabling clients to create agile, outcome-focused partner programs that evolve with the business.
A strong partner strategy starts with clarity. Who are the right partners? What role should they play in the customer journey? Which industries or geographies offer the most growth? Zinnov works closely with partner leaders to design modular, persona-driven programs that align with business goals. We apply structured frameworks to build a strategic blueprint customized to your ecosystem.
Key elements we help define:
Once a partner program is operational, the next imperative is to assess the performance of the program and the partners. Zinnov’s Partner Program Assessment brings a data-driven, 360° view to evaluate what’s working and where optimizations are needed. This assessment provides clear, visual insights and actionable recommendations to fine-tune program design or pivot for future goals.
Our assessment focuses on:
We use a proprietary 20-KPI framework derived from over 50+ benchmarked measures, triangulated through primary interviews with partners, vendors, and customers, and feedback loops from partner and program stakeholders.
Partner programs must evolve as business needs shift. Whether expanding into new markets, launching new offerings, or integrating AI-driven co-sell motions, scaling is where partner programs deliver exponential value.
Zinnov’s Scaling Framework helps partner leaders:
We operationalize and scale ecosystem strategies through targeted interventions:
Our proprietary Partner Maturity Model helps organizations move from Nascent → Scaling → Advancing, enabling a step-by-step roadmap to drive sustained partner-led growth.
