Using the Siebel PRM CHAMP Planning Module

To use the CHAMP Planning module in Siebel PRM, you perform the following high-level steps:

• Plan and create a set of appropriate metrics that will allow you to measure your partners' performance. You create these metrics before creating any initiatives: they will let you define specific objectives for your partners.
• Create a new partnership initiative.
• Create a specific partner plan for each partner company that participates in the initiative.
• Execute the plan and evaluate partner performance.

You may have other ways of working with your partners. CHAMP planning is not required, but it does have a track record of improving the execution, effectiveness and overall success of partner relationships.
