 Integrate your product with SIMS

We believe that Partners are key to our future success. Whether you are a service provider, systems integrator, reseller or other type of technology provider, we want you to provide solutions to enhance our customers' SIMS system. Our Partner scheme has been designed specifically to accommodate smaller companies as well as providing benefits for larger ones. We provide you with the assistance to help your products integrate with SIMS easily.

The Partner Management document provides the information to help you evaluate the type of Partner you may want to be and what to do next. There are different types of Partner.
