Spring baseball starts in Florida today...sure as each team will boast new names traded during the off-season, we are seeing musical chairs in the SME software reseller channel.
A few weeks ago, the folks at Intacct were telling me about their channel growth. Yesterday I was talking to a friend who has been consolidating Microsoft Dynamics resellers.
Then I read this article by Robert Scott who has been covering the SME accounting software market for donkey's years and I see moves being made by NetSuite, Deltek, Intuit, Epicor, SAP.
While players like Microsoft and Sage have been consolidating the software side of the market, the reseller segment remains very fragmented - and fluid as newer SaaS players join more established players in trading for the best resellers.
