The book, titled 'Collaboration is where IT's at' sets the first global best practice guidelines, capturing the attention of respected industry leaders at PwC, Deloitte and Wipro. Written by Danielle James, an industry veteran, the book is targeted at IT vendor CEOs, sales and alliance professionals.

• A new book establishes global best practice, for the very first time, for a specific type of alliance in the IT industry
• This is the first time this knowledge has been shared across the IT industry
• IT vendor execs know that alliances are important but few know much about them

Partner management in IT has its history in reseller relationships, whereas this book is about a more recent type of partnership: alliances between IT vendors and global systems integrators (GSIs) such as Accenture and TCS. With the rapid growth of best-of-breed IT products, vendors are investing more in alliances as a cornerstone strategy to expand their market reach, improve brand recognition and gain access to the C-suite.

Comment from Phillip Ratcliff, Director, PwC

"Danielle is an expert in her field, with a wealth of knowledge and demonstrated experience in navigating the complex strategic alliances domain. This is the first book of its kind and is a must read to prepare those who are thinking of entering the industry, as well as a refresher with numerous new perspectives for those who are already established."
