Cooperative Solutions that Increase Customer Value
To increase the value of OPEN and to provide more complete solutions to our customers, KJT is committed to building strong relationships with world-class equipment manufacturers and solutions providers. The OPEN partner program provides a comprehensive network of resources that meets the hardware and integration needs of power information management applications.
The OPEN partner program is comprised of two program tracks: product partnerships and distribution and consulting partnerships. Product partners offer products that complement OPEN, while distribution and consulting partners implement OPEN and provide value-added services. Three levels of participation within each program track provide partners with different benefits, such as ongoing product device-driver compatibility and cooperative sales and cooperative marketing opportunities.
