The Partner Services Team

Within the Authentication Business Unit, the Partner Services team helps to grow and expand our business by designing, building and supporting integrations between HID Authentication Products and third-party strategic ecosystems (Technology/Integration Partners).

The integration components are designed so that the integrations are repeatable, add value, simplify/obfuscate complex technology, and importantly reduce the time and effort required of the partner to realise the value of their customers’ investments in both HID and the Technology/Integration Partner.

To provide our customers and partners with the best possible service, it is imperative that Partner Services aligns closely with our integration partners, understands their business model & vision and defines a shared strategy for joint collaboration in conjunction with the technology partner. In collaboration with sales, solution marketing, product and technical pre-sales teams; Partner Services are responsible for identifying and engaging with new technology partners to increase HID Global’s addressable market share. Partner Services will serve as a conduit between the BU & partners to influence the strategic technology direction to help shape the BU portfolio vision & strategy.

It should be noted that Technology/Integration Partners often have their own partner program or ecosystem (referred to as Integration Partners). The Integration Partners are involved in all phases of the end customer sales cycle, this could be from the specification of the solution, the customisation of the solution to meet customer-specific requirements, implementation and configuration of the solution, integration with third-party vendors and the support of the end to end solution thereafter. It is therefore also the responsibility of the Partner Services team to enable strategic Integration Partners.

Integration Partners are already experts on the solution provided by the technology partner but may lack the direct knowledge and skills on the HID Authentication portfolio. The Partner Services team are responsible for:

• Onboarding, Training and enabling Strategic Integration Partners

  • Educating strategic Integration Partners on HID Products along with the integration components developed by the team
