RSPA President & CEO Jim Roddy shares his insights with a recap from the ScanSource #PartnerFirst24. Check it out now via the RSPA Blog: https://lnkd.in/eyrkTkZJ

This first part of my week was time well invested at the ScanSource #PartnerFirst24 Conference -- with 800+ of my retail IT channel friends in Greenville, SC. Here's my analysis of the event via the RSPA - Retail Solutions Providers Association Blog: https://lnkd.in/dj4W4SJA "Both ScanSource and RSPA frequently see new players entering our ecosystem (most of them leading with a niche software application and niche vertical focus), and many longtime VARs have adapted their business to keep pace with the rate of change. The most successful solution providers are focusing their organizations to maximize their business value, expand their offering set, and increase their recurring revenue. Closing the next deal is great, but its result is only short-term success." Tagging a few folks who helped make the event so strong: Tony Sorrentino • Casey Huffling Brian Cuppett Brenda Mccurry Mike Baur Kevin Kent Justin Price Yogesh Kulkarni Tony Walsh Craig Witsoe Peter Stewart Jenny Krummenacher Juan Carlos Castillo Georgina Lamb Nell Alverson Paul Constantine Melissa Andrews Jeremy Julian Bobby Bauer Ayana Scriven Heather Philpott Oscar Alvidrez Velda Goodin Robbie Cox Ansley Hoke Brian Oetgen Kate Orara Daniel Savu David Eash David Hertwig Gord Doerksen Jason Schlichting Jim Freed Peggy Nikas Maloney Mike Monocello Blake Gillum Mark Bunnell Mike Mughetto
