| Microsoft Early Adopter Program |
|
|
ILOG participates in Microsoft's Early Access Program (EAP) for products such as Microsoft Visual Studio, Microsoft Windows Server, and Microsoft Office.
|
Microsoft product releases are preceded by controlled betas and early adopter programs. These programs provide development teams with valuable feedback and help them focus on the most critical customers' issues. Microsoft's early adopter programs include Technology Adoption, Enterprise GO, independent software vendor (ISV) Touchdown and ISV Ascend Early Access programs, helping both partners and customers gain first-hand experience of next-generation technologies prior to the product release.
Microsoft invites selected or global managed ISV partners to participate in various Ascend programs to ensure they have everything from training to support, in order to build successful products with new technologies. The goal of this program is to build a strong eco-system of ISV products ready to go live within ninety days of a Microsoft product's release to market. ILOG has participated in Microsoft's Ascend Early Access Programs for Microsoft Office, Visual Studio and Windows Server releases, leveraging collaboration with Microsoft to ensure ongoing, advanced integration and extended capabilities between ILOG's and Microsoft's technologies.
