As a qualifying partner in the Connected Partner Program, companies have private access to Tyco Security Products’ fully equipped laboratories as well as contact with Tyco’s technical and engineering support professionals. Participants in the programme maintain control over their own integrations to utilise software development kits (SDK), application programme interface (API) or through web services.

Using a self-certification process, partners can manage the integration timeline through its various stages at their own pace, including application, pre-development, development, testing and launch. Tyco Security Products has already successfully run its Connected Partner Program for its Software House brand, with more than 300 integrations to date.

“The expansion of the Connected Partner Program allows new partners to leverage Tyco Security Products’ expertise across many platforms for product integrations whilst maximizing their access to our wide-ranging and high-level customer base,” said Peter Ainsworth, Director of EMEA Marketing, Tyco Security Products. “This programme helps us to bring a broader range of solutions to our customers and provides them with valuable tools for continued growth and success.”

Programme partners will be featured as a trusted and approved partner, aiming to give both parties robust joint marketing opportunities and to help strengthen the partner companies’ position in the marketplace.
