PARTNER PROGRAM GUIDELINES
Our program is designed to generate opportunity for mutual benefit under three tiers: Registered, Select, and Premier. While some tiers offer increased levels of engagement – and with it, benefits and requirements – we believe all partners are strategically valuable to Simpro and our community.
Registered Partner
These partnerships are most common and are usually the initial level that partners consider when embracing Simpro as a partner. Several of these benefits are outlined below, but grouped into Marketing, Sales, Technology & Enablement, and Support, which Registered partners can take advantage of on a self-service basis.
Select Partner
These partnerships utilize many of the same offerings and benefits provided to Registered partners, however they also match partners with a dedicated Partner Manager. The Partner Manager will create and administer an annual plan to help you leverage valuable Simpro opportunities.
Premier Partner
These relationships require significant investment and coordination on both ends to deliver on a shared value proposition and unique business case. This will ultimately convey material benefits for the Simpro Partner and ecosystems. These relationships are by invitation only and typically evolve from Registered and Select partnerships.
If you’re unsure of how you want to proceed when engaging the Partner program, we recommend Registered or Select as your entry point. If you’re interested in discussing the strategic possibilities of Premier level, please engage your Partner Manager or email [email protected] with any questions.
