VIP Program Overview
An innovative solution for leaders in innovation.
In today's global marketplace, businesses that value intellectual property understand—more than anyone else—the need
to stay two steps ahead of the competition.
The Vertical Influence Partner (VIP) program for IPM is a ramp-up initiative designed for organizations with this
mindset: driven to be in the lead, both to protect
current successes and to create new opportunities.
Intellectual Property Manager, Powered by SAP NetWeaver™, is an enterprise solution for not only protecting IP, but using it as a strategic business tool.
In becoming a partner, you will be among a select community that will validate
design decisions against real-life requirements, environments and users.
In addition, your organization will incur
no software costs for the implementation of IPM version 1.0, and the project will be safeguarded
by the service and support of Linx/AS, an SAP
IVN partner.
Immediate benefits, long-term vision.
The initial VIP project will have your organization up, running, and
benefiting
from IPM in three to four months. However, the
goal of the program is to support our partners, who have chosen to be leaders in IP management, by providing
support through the next release, with ongoing community participation and influence.
