ChannelPro 20/20 Visionaries - Jay McBain

TROY, N.Y. - May 13, 2016 -  The ChannelPro 20/20 Visionaries are comprised of 20 influential, go-to authorities in managed services, cloud computing, and partner support and education from the vendor, analyst, and consulting communities, as well as 20 of the most far-sighted resellers, MSPs, and community leaders from the SMB partner community. These are the IT professionals who not only serve their SMB clients with top solutions and services, but move the industry forward with innovative ideas, a commitment to continual improvement, and a willingness to share what they know to help others succeed in the market.

Jay McBain represents ChannelEyes who continue to drive thought leadership in the global channel community by introducing forward-looking software to help vendors communicate, engage and drive more revenue with their valued partners. After success with Social and Mobile products, ChannelEyes recently introduced OPTYX - a Predictive Analytics platform that assists Channel Account Managers with the complicated task of managing a territory, prioritizing activities, and improving interactions with alliances and partners.

"We are proud to reveal this year's class of smart, insightful thinkers," said Cecilia Galvin, executive editor, ChannelPro-SMB. "Many of the honorees, such as McBain, who made the grade in 2016 did so last year as well, but there are some new faces too. What they all have in common is a deep understanding of the channel and how to thrive in it."

OPTYX is a predictive alerting, scoring and prioritization solution that helps channel organizations increase indirect sales by optimizing partner interactions based on data science. Designed as a workflow tool that runs seamlessly with Salesforce and other CRM systems, it automatically and intelligently processes internal and external data signals to help channel sales account managers work smarter, close more deals faster and continuously grow revenue.

After much debate, the list of this year's visionaries emerged. Each year this process will be reprised, with honorees selected from many worthy channel candidates.
