Transcript of Partner Success Services (Overview & Framework)
Partner Success Services (PSS) Overview & Framework
April 2016
PSS Overview • PSS is the acronym for Partner Success Services
• PSS was created to provide Salesforce Partners (Systems Integrators/SI) a way to engage with Marketing Cloud services delivery to learn how to implement and maintain Marketing Cloud products on behalf on Salesforce customers
• Partner Success Services (PSS) can be delivered in two formats that can be flexibly combined
into a single engagement:
• Packages of specific projects & deliverables that can be applied to multiple client engagements that the partner is involved with. These are prepared as “T&M”
• T&M “open” engagements with a charter, timeframe, and rate card to be used at the Partner and SFMC discretion based on the specific engagement
• We expect that most engagements will be a combination of these two, leveraging our overall engagement framework
