PartnerConnect for Alliance Partners

Today and tomorrow enterprise solutions are becoming ever more complex and necessitate a collaborative go-to-market approach by a variety of providers who each offer vital components that make up a total solution for a customer. Aligning with like-minded complementary providers is therefore fundamental to Zebra.

Recognising the important contributions and unique needs of Alliance Partners, the Zebra® PartnerConnect programme includes the Alliance Partner Track, available to companies that develop hardware, products, or services that complement Zebra products. The current Alliance Partner Track Categories are:

• Independent Hardware Vendors (IHV) who develop and sell hardware or accessories compatible with Zebra products (holsters, cradles, etc)
• Consultants who focus on advising organisations on how best to use information technology that may include Zebra products.
• Technology Alliances who provide complementary technology that supports Zebra products (Operating System, chipsets, WLAN, etc). 
• System Integrators (SI) who specialise in implementing, planning, testing, and/or maintaining IT operations that may include Zebra products.

Together with Alliance Partners, we’re transforming the edge of the enterprise. By coupling our market-leading products with your innovative hardware, product, or service offer, we’re helping customers make business-critical decisions and perform their best.
