In 2015, the council is focused on strategies, tactics and tools to help channel partners evaluate their current business models and explore options for transforming their company as market conditions change.

"Each option has a unique set of requirements and best practices." Other members of the CompTIA Partner Advisory Council for 2015-16 are:
