HP Launches
Worldwide Developer and Solution Partner Program
Independent Software Vendors, Systems Integrators and Consultants
to Benefit from World-class Support
PALO ALTO, Calif., Nov. 4, 2002
HP
(NYSE:HPQ) today announced the rollout of its new Developer
and Solution Partner Program (DSPP). Made available worldwide
on Nov. 1, DSPP provides independent software vendors (ISVs),
systems integrators and consultants with tools aimed at propelling
them through their entire product lifecycle from initial development
to market introduction.
In order to deliver an adaptive infrastructure to HP's
customers, DSPP combines the best of the former Compaq Solutions
Alliance program and HP's
pre-merger Developer and Solution Partner Portal, as well
as several additional benefits. Key features include:
- Experienced business representatives in all regions around
the world with multi-language capability, available to assist
partners in maximizing their benefits throughout their entire
go-to-market process;
- Discounts for all participants of up to 73 percent on
a broad range of HP
development systems as well as free access to extensive
development and support offerings such as remote access
to systems, software developer kits and training;
- On-site or remote access to technical engineering assistance
at HP centers for technical
development, porting and optimization; and
- An integrated portal containing a wealth of product and
service information, access to marketing programs and services,
timely communications and partner collaboration opportunities.
"Partners have always been central to HP's
strategy," said Nigel Ball, vice president and general
manager, HP Enterprise
Solution Partners. "The HP
philosophy to partnering is, and continues to be, to support
our partners throughout their entire product lifecycle. The
new worldwide Developer and Solution Partner Program enables
us to provide even better support to our ISV and systems integrator
partners, so together we can deliver the very best solutions
to our customers and enable them to be as agile and flexible
as market conditions demand."
"Heroix Corporation has worked closely with HP
for the last six years. During this time we have been constantly
impressed with the level of support that HP
has offered us and the overall sophistication of its partner
program," said Rick Lane, president and chief operating
officer at Heroix, a leading provider of application performance
management software. "With this new program, HP
seems set to offer its partners even more tools and information
to further product growth. Heroix is looking forward to reaping
some of these associated benefits."
DSPP falls under the umbrella of partnerONE, the recently
announced HP global partner
structure that replaces some 40 programs worldwide.
