New Programs Designed to Address Global Partner Ecosystem

EnterpriseDB's new partner programs include:

 --  The OEM Partner Program is for companies that OEM EnterpriseDB     Advanced Server as part of a packaged solution in which the database is not     visible to the end customer. EnterpriseDB offers flexible pricing models to     accommodate each partner's product pricing strategy.      --  The Reseller Partner Program is for companies that resell EnterpriseDB     Advanced Server, either as part of a complete solution bundle or alone.     Reseller partners receive discounts that vary depending on usage     restrictions, volume sell-through, and the level of support provided by the     reseller to the end customer.      --  The Consulting Partner Program is for companies that provide     professional services (design, development, and implementation) associated     with solutions using EnterpriseDB Advanced Server.      --  The Application Partner Program is for companies that have certified     their applications to interoperate with EnterpriseDB Advanced Server, but     do not resell the database with their solution.      --  The Technology Partner Program is for companies that provide IT     systems that are complementary to EnterpriseDB Advanced Server, such as     hardware, infrastructure, tools, and middleware.      

The five new partner programs offer companies many valuable benefits, including:
