Goal of the Partner Program is to gain a competitive advantage by gaining
access to a partner s resources and relationships to grow & expand our
business efficiently and effectively.
In order to do so, we need to identify a select group of companies that will
collaborate with ZeroChaos as a Strategic Partner or a broader range of
companies as Affiliate Partners to create real and significant business
opportunities for each other and support them to closure.
The Partner Program describes a mutually beneficial relationship with
organizations that would fall within two distinct categories and a third
population of vendors/ASP s would exist within our community :
Strategic Partner
Paving way through the sale.
Higher level of commitment, relationships, etc.
Affiliate Partner
Identifying opportunities.
Facilitating Introductions.
ZeroChaos Partner Community
Establishing a network of ASP s/Vendors to support ZC in the
marketplace; create market opportunities
