Create the Possible
As you know, McAfee has a vast ecosystem of partners – professional services, solution providers, service providers/systems integrators, original equipment manufacturers, security innovation alliance, and distribution. In 2017, I challenged you, our partner community, to collaborate with each other, and with McAfee, to deliver innovative solutions for better customer outcomes. And, wow did you deliver! Throughout the day, we showed seven short videos highlighting the innovation from unique partners in the Americas. Thank you to the partners who stepped out to document their success. The work that the McAfee Partner community has delivered in the last year is truly a testament that we can Create the Possible when we work together.
Key Takeaways
Partners heard program, product, and corporate strategy from our C-Level executives, and had the opportunity to dig deeper into the information through ample Q&A throughout the day. While we took numerous questions from the audience, our executives had some key call to actions from the partners.
