Joint roadmaps accelerate interoperability, while co-selling opened multi-site operator channels—partners reported average deal-size uplifts near 25% in 2024. Vendors cut implementation friction and lift client stickiness, raising renewal rates materially.

Christie Group leverages sector associations, banks, software vendors and legal/compliance partners to speed deals, boost deal-flow and improve pricing using 2024 benchmarks: PE dry powder €700bn, healthcare M&A $200bn, 62% retailers prioritise integrations, co-marketing uplifts 20–30% and multi-site deal-size +25%.
