Who is Big Friends?

Big Friends saw the opportunity to help companies focused on Customer Experience to grow through key partnerships. As a result, we brought together a group of business development leaders to work with our clients to align their alliance/channel partner strategy & programs and to execute with proven success.

For software companies to be successful in a continually growing and evolving customer experience space, they must build an ecosystem of services, technology, and channel partners.

For software companies to grow successfully, they must have BIG FRIENDS.

For software companies to grow successfully, they must have BIG FRIENDS.

“We have had some starts and stops to our partnership effort over the past few years, as a result we brought in Big Friends to help us develop a holistic partner strategy (multi-year). They were able to involve our entire leadership team, resulting in alignment and support for the partner strategy created by Big Friends.”
