Partner FAQ
Becoming a Pingar Partner
I want to resell and/or recommend Pingar’s commercial products. How do I apply for a Pingar Partnership?
First, please fill out our partnership form. Next, our partner team will review your application and then contact you normally within 2-3 days to discuss your application further. Due to the considerable interest in working with Pingar, sometimes it takes us a day or two to reply, but we’ll be with you as soon as we can.
I want to embed Pingar’s commercial product(s) into my solution. Do you have a program that handles this?
Yes. If you are interested in embedding or OEM'ing Pingar’s API or components, you may be interested in the Powered by Pingar program. Learn more about the Pingar’s OEM program, Powered by Pingar.
As a partner, what are the guidelines for using Pingar’s branding in association with my company?
Please refer to these Pingar Branding and Usage Guidelines. Our marketing team will be pleased to work with you on any customized usage needs or collateral. We’re here to help.
Is there a partnership agreement that I can review?
Yes. The Pingar partner team will share our partnership agreement for your review and comments. Our end user license agreement is here. When you join the program, you will be required to sign this standard reseller agreement.
Are there different levels of membership in the Pingar Partner Program? If so, how do I decide between the different partnership levels?
Yes, there are different membership levels based upon reselling numbers. All members join at a basic level and earn additional discounts based on volume.
Do members of the Pingar Partner Program get access to software for internal usage?
Yes. Pingar Partners receive of course a free sandbox account for development. If you are developing for potential resale, there is no charge for you to use the Pingar API. If you are developing an application for resale, we will discuss and agree to Powered by Pingar terms. If your team needs additional usage beyond the free account for testing, we will be happy to set you up with a limited term usage license.
Is there a cost to become a partner?
There is no membership fee to become a Pingar Partner.
What are the differences between Pingar’s cloud-based API and Enterprise API?
The Pingar API and its components do not vary depending on whether you are using the cloud-based API or an enterprise version. The enterprise version is for our clients (and yours) with security, compliance and firewall issues, who prefer to host the API in house for those reasons.
Why do partners choose to build a practice around Pingar’s API products?
There are many reasons to utilize Pingar’s API to help your clients manage their unstructured and semi-structured data:
- The Pingar Program offers a wealth of sales, marketing, technical and educational benefits to actively support partners in building and growing a more profitable business.
- Your clients desire a solution for managing their unstructured data that is flexible, works with their existing technology investments and that is protected under a standard commercial software license, not an open source license.
- Partners receive early access to pre-release versions of the Pingar API before they are generally available.
- Pre-release training on topics such as installation, upgrades, new features and functionality, administration, and tips & tricks.
- Membership to the Pingar Partner Forums, a critical asset to partner productivity.
- Deal assistance from the Pingar Partner team.
- Pingar offers some pre-built applications built within the Pingar API to Partners for free to help them get commercial projects up and running.
