4 Partnership Services
4.1 Partnership levels
The CLIDE Analyser partner program consists of two types of partnerships and four levels; “Learning Partners” is for companies who want everything necessary to start implementing CLIDE Analyser, without visibility as an official partner until they get the required experience; “Official Partners” is for companies who want the visibility as Ready, Silver, and Gold, according to their experience with CLIDE Analyser.
Partnership level granted to PARTNER depends on the annual new CLIDE Analsyer Enterprise revenue generated for CLIDE Analyser (in terms of CLIDE Analsyer Enterprise Users sold), the number of certified resources and the customer Retention Rate. Renewals of existing contracts do not count towards the number of Users Sold, but PARTNER still gets a commission on these contracts as stated in section 4.2 Benefits .
