Altec subscribes to a channel driven program that
assists partners in developing new business opportunities for
integrated document management solutions. As a reseller of financial
accounting software, you are viewed as a natural and integral
part of the solutions. Doc-link™, Altec’s flagship
product is integrated to the solution you sell and our joint expertise
will result in a reference account that you can use to showcase
to your other customers and prospects. What’s more, doc-link has
a payback - generally within 9 months or less and has
in numerous cases when bundled with a new ERP sale provided the
ROI for the entire solution while effectively blocking out the
competition.
PARTNERassist allows you maximum flexibility
in determining the role you would like to take. On the initial
sale or two, we recommend allowing us to take a leadership position
as your sales engineer while you coordinate and facilitate the
sales process. As you gain comfort with the tools and solution,
you are able to take a greater role including being certified
to resell the solution with attendant support from Altec. Altec
implements and conducts the training so no special skill sets
are required to enter this lucrative emerging market. Doc-link,
integrated document management spans all verticals and has a price
point for every budget. With no up-front costs and elimination
of any barriers to entry, you can quickly position yourself as
document management specialist and enter this exciting new market.

Revenue Opportunities
Altec has a Partner Referral Program paying on a
sliding scale up
to 40% of software net revenue depending upon the role
you wish to take. Studies have shown that with strong partner
backing, the average time to close is 4 months or less. On the
initial sale, Altec trains you to take a greater role in each
successive sale with our ultimate goal to have you certified
to sell the solution on your paper with maximum margin return
to you. Consulting engagement opportunities exist for
those resellers who expand their practice to included business
process review projects and follow up engagements to further
integrate doc-link throughout the enterprise. Differentiate
yourself from the competition, enter a new growth market and
maximize your value to your current customers - all possible
through our PARTNERassist Program.
