Inline Partnership Programs
Inline has recently revamped it's partner programs. This was done to improve working with resellers, hosting providers, software developers and ISP's. VAR's that are participants of the old programs will still operate under the old program until their subscription expires. They will then have the option of joining the new program.
The Inline VAR (Value Added Reseller) Program was created for Web consultants, developers, ISP's, and systems integrators, who represent a very important part of Inline's business. Our contribution to your success is sophisticated software technologies which serve as key ingredients in your customers' web-based business solutions. Inline's suite of software products are designed to provide you with the tools you need to develop, test and maintain sophisticated web applications.
As a reseller of Inline software, you receive discounts on Inline products which contributes directly to your bottom line. More importantly, it provides you with the tools to offer further consulting and development services to your customers. This is where the value really lies.
The Hosting Provider program was developed specifically for ISP's hosting applications built with our iHTML and iHTML Merchant products.
