PARTNER NEWS

The new Alliance Network Portal provides exclusive resources for partners.

ILOG Alliance Network Portal
Partners welcome
There’s no secret handshake to get in, but ILOG’s Web-based “club” for partners does require a password. The newly created ILOG Alliance Network Portal is a 24x7 resource for doing business with our partners and offering them self-service support. The portal is part of the ILOG Alliance Network Program (IANP), whose goal is to simplify collaboration between ILOG and its partners in order to streamline joint business development efforts and extend ILOG’s market reach. Through the new portal, IANP offers a global partnering framework and comprehensive collaboration tools that include online sales, marketing and technical support.

The portal further enables ILOG and its partners to work together to:

• Establish joint business development strategies
• Align resources to support partnerships
• Develop intercompany work groups and share best practices
• Execute joint go-to-market initiatives, generate awareness and launch lead-generation campaigns
• React rapidly to joint opportunities

Three steps to join
Joining the new portal is simple and covered in the ILOG Alliance Network Program Guide, which also explains our new partnership categories. To register for the portal, follow these steps:

• Step 1: Download the guide from ILOG’s website and read it thoroughly
• Step 2: Sign up for a myILOG account if you don’t already have one
• Step 3: Fill out and submit the online Program Membership Registration Form
