Complementary Solutions Partners
Progress Software maintains technical and marketing relationships with many software vendors who offer tools and technologies that are complementary to Progress. By participating in a Progress Complementary Solutions Program, software vendors can combine their strengths with Progress Software to offer customers more choices and a more complete range of solutions. The program is designed to offer varying degrees of the following benefits to Progress customers:
- Confidence in the compatibility of Progress and the participating vendors' software
- Sharing of technical information between Progress, Complementary Partners, and customers
- Easier access to the company and product information of Complementary Partners
- Availability of integrated technologies for a total solution to business needs
Progress Software has defined a framework for the Complementary Solutions Program: Cardinal, Mosaic, Open Access, and Connectivity Levels. This framework was created so that Progress Software, its partners and customers clearly know what to expect from each other and how each party will benefit. The Open Access Level is potentially the most accessible and important program for new vendor partners.
What's the difference between a Complementary Solutions Partner and an Application Partner?
Vendors participating in the Complementary Solutions Program market development tools, utilities, application building blocks, architectures, deployment products, or other technologies that add value to Progress products, services, or applications, and therefore may be of interest to many Progress customers and Application Partners. Application Partners purchase and use the products and services of Progress Software and its Complementary Partners to build applications and solve business problems. By combining the products of Progress Software and our Complementary Solutions Partners, Application Partners can extend the capabilities of Progress or find more comprehensive solutions to a wider range of business problems.
