It will be interesting to see how partners embrace this messaging. These transitions are easier said than done!

Hi 'Great recap!' - thanks for your reaction. I fully agree with you that these type of transitions are far from easy! But that would also give partners lots of reasons to start timely and give this 'transition project' all the focus, energy and resources it deserves. But unfortunately, that's not really what the majority of partners do today.
