To align the partner strategies of the acquired companies with UC's new vision for a single indirect channel, the Solution Architect should recommend:
A) Completely unify all the channel strategies under the acquiring company's brand and strategy. This ensures a cohesive approach and aligns with the goal of a unified partner strategy.
C) Create an adoption plan for the Direct Sales team to engage with the Indirect Sales team in a sell-with model within the new Partner Communities. This facilitates collaboration between direct and indirect sales channels, leveraging the strengths of both to drive sales in the unified environment.
Reference to these strategies can be found in Salesforce's best practices for managing partner relationships and communities, as detailed in Salesforce Partner Community documentation.
