vps ID Systeme GmbH, a European supplier of professional IT solutions for identity management, announces the launch of the IDExpert Partner Program.  The IDExpert
Partner Program was created to acknowledge the pivotal role that business partners play and to provide a mutually beneficial environment for all companies involved in the delivery of state-of-the-art open-architecture ID management solutions.
”We created the IDExpert Partner Program to give a more visible structure and a clear reference point to the players that are joining forces to bring innovative ID management solutions to market,” comments Jurgen Konig, the General Manager of vps.  ”Over the years, we’ve been working with the major players in the access control arena and together with them we’ve given
significant impulse to the ID management revolution that sees solutions become open-architecture and web-based.  Today, this collaboration becomes visible and therefore open to new contributions, new members and new ideas.”
vps recognizes four types of partners: System Integrators, Solution Providers, Consultants, and Technology Providers.  The first three categories correspond to authorized vps distribution partners who use or bring to market IDExpert software products and services.  vps, in turn, integrates the products and technologies of leading Technology Partners with the IDExpert Products, thus promoting the adoption of these technologies.  The IDExpert Partner Program facilitates the creation of fruitful business collaborations among members, establishing win-win scenarios for all those involved.
The first objective of vps’ IDExpert Partner Program is to provide convenient access to the full range of vps products and services to all customers.  The program must also enable vps to quickly identify suitable solution providers for its clients and for joint projects.  Finally, the program aims to establish a clear overview of the full range of products and services offered by vps and its partners.
The partner program is a fundamental element of vps’ IDExpert platform, which gathers under one brand the company’s renown web-based open-architecture ID management software solutions as well as the company’s expanded professional services offering.  IDExpert is designed to respond to the needs of public and private organizations investing in new security
measures.  vps has appointed Karl-Heinz Huber as Partner Manager.  In this role, he will work with vps’ business partners to develop synergies, create win-win situations and uncover new business opportunities worldwide.  Karl-Heinz Huber began his career at Siemens as Software Architect and Project Manager.  He has gained further experience in the fields of R&D management, consulting and customer management in sectors such as retail automation and financial services.
