Technology Partner Program Details

APC is dedicated to forging partnerships that address customer’s availability needs with innovative and seamless solutions. Our Technology Partner program provides standardized processes and resources for creating and supporting these tightly integrated “total solutions.” The goal is to work with partners to make it easier for our mutual customers to make choices leading to best-of-breed, interoperable solutions.

Earning "APC Technology Partner" status ensures your customers that your integrated solution has been certified by APC, and it works as specified with the designated APC product(s). As a member of the program, you will profit from a partnership that can help you deliver more value to your customers, while enabling you to leverage APC's global presence and drive your own business objectives. APC offers three levels of partnership so you can choose the level which best suits your company's needs.
