The WDI driver in Windows 10 and the associated Wi-Fi Direct APIs replace the NDIS driver and associated SoftAP APIs in Windows 8.1. While you can continue to use the SoftAP API to work with the NDIS driver in Windows 10, the APIs are deprecated starting in Windows 8.1. That includes IDot11AdHocManager and related interfaces.

For full functionality in Windows 10, you should use the Wi-Fi Direct WinRT APIs with the WDI driver instead.

You can, however, use some of the Wi-Fi Direct WinRT APIs in a Classic Windows application. For instance you can use the Wi-Fi Direct WinRT APIs in place of WFDOpenHandle and related APIs in Classic Windows applications. The WiFiDirectLegacySettings class allows devices that do not support Wi-Fi Direct to connect to a device that does support it, and to use the services offered by the Wi-Fi Direct device.

WiFiDirectLegacySettings allows you to specify the SSID and password. For an example of how to use WiFiDirectLegacySettings in a Classic Windows application, see the WiFiDirectLegacyAPDemo_v1.0.zip download on the Microsoft download center.

Mobile Hotspots are supported starting in Windows 10, version 1607. A Mobile Hotspot is an enhanced version of the mobile broadband tethering feature. Note that the Mobile Hotspot and legacy Wi-Fi Direct group owner features cannot be used at the same time. Additionally, Mobile Hotspot takes precedence over all Wi-Fi Direct scenarios.

Developers of desktop applications can use this sample to see how to replace the deprecated WlanHostedNetwork* API's with the new WinRT API's without modifying the application to become a Universal Windows Application. These API's let an application start a Wi-Fi Direct Group Owner (GO) that acts as an Access Point (AP). This allows devices that do not support Wi-Fi Direct to connect to the Windows device running this application and communicate over TCP/UDP. The API's allow the developer to optionally specify an SSID and passphrase, or use randomly generated ones.

[NOTE]In Classic Windows apps, you don’t need to set the WinRT device capabilities because there is no Package.appxmanifest file.

How did we do this?

Channel Partner programs are so powerful that even multi-billion tech companies including Microsoft, VMWare, Oracle, eBay, Mailchimp, Shopify,Citrix and thousands of others use it.

Despite its huge success, creating successful partner programs isn’t a piece of cake. It takes time, effort, and most importantly, strategic planning. I have tried to make it simpler for you by introducing this 14-step process.

A well-designed partner program, is the formula to power your sales to Legendary levels.

Like my other blog posts and presentations, this article is also based on my personal experiences and reviews from industry experts. I am sharing my conclusions here so that you don’t have to reinvent the wheel.

The definition of a channel partner program is: “A Channel Partner Program is a strategy to motivate and engage channel partners to create more value for customers.”

If you want to understand the definition in detail read my article by clicking here.

Business goals, vision, and executive support

Before you start developing your own Channel Partner Program, there are a few important factors you need to keep in mind: business goals, vision, and executive support.

Creating a professional reseller channel partner program is a big investment of time, effort, and resources. This is why it is essential that the partner program you want to create is aligned with the company strategy and business goals. This is also why it is essential to have executive support before you kick-off the process.

Now that you know what you need to take care of before you start, let’s go on to learn how to create your very own professional partner program.

The Creation is Not a Straight Line

The creation of a Partner Program and Channel Sales is not a straight line. It’s a lovely mess that gets more clear and straight the more you study and develop it. If the world or your business changes suddenly, you may have to start over.

A solid value proposition automatically gives you an edge. It’s the number one thing to define because it will determine whether people will bother learning more about your solution, services, or product.

Defining a value proposition is about letting people know clearly what they will get out of using your product or service. You can use some tools to define customer gains, pain points, and rank what is more important for them. The next step is always to compare your value proposition with that of your competitors, what the market wants, and available alternatives. Once you have this data, you can define a solid base value proposition.

Personally I use Strategyzer's Value Proposition Canvas. It is a great tool to think deeply about customer jobs, gains they want and pains they have. When we understand the customer in detail we can better describe the value we provide in a way that the customer finds interesting.

If you want to learn more about value proposition design, check out my article titled How to Create a Strong Value Proposition for B2B. I also recommend that you read How to create customer profiles / buyer personas for B2B Sales and How I Broke the Code for Advanced Value Proposition Creation Design.

When you and your prospect customers understand the value proposition clearly, it will be much easier for your channel partners to pitch your product or service to people.

Customers now know about your solution. So now what? There’s still so much to do.

You need to understand the entire buyer journey for the customer and design a sales process. What steps are involved in the sales process? How many steps are there? What needs to be done at each stage of the sales process? All these questions need to be answered in detail.

But when you create the sales process, it is important that it is from the customer's perspective. It should be customer-centric.

Read my article How to Design a Sales Process for B2B Sales that explains how you can create a better sales process and improve your sales result.

Ever heard of the phrase, “Keep your friends close, and enemies closer.” You must apply it to yourself. Essentially, you need to understand what your competitors are doing.
