What is a partner initiative?
The real power of the Intel® Software Partner Program comes when you
join a partner initiative.
Partner initiatives are designed to help you broaden your market reach and expand your opportunities in attractive growth markets. Each is aligned with the partner tracks you selected in your profile. To select the initiative that best suits your business, simply review the prospectuses for each. You may opt to join a specific initiative, or participate in a technology-enabling pathway, such as enabling for multi-core technology. When you do, you gain access to unmatched benefits that deliver competitive advantage and put you on the fast track for business success – from business planning and product development to exclusive marketing and sales opportunities.

Like the Intel® Software Partner Program itself, partner initiatives align with your product development lifecycle. From assisting you with strategic planning and helping you enable your applications on Intel platforms and technologies to delivering focused marketing resources and sales campaigns that help promote your new products, joining an initiative can help put you on the fast track to business success.

join an initiative?
When you select one or more partner tracks within program enrollment,
you open the door to a valuable portfolio of core benefits, aligned with your product lifecycle.
Although you need not join an initiative, we recommend that you do to derive the most advantage from the partner program. If you do not find an initiative that best suits your business, we invite you to participate in one of the technology-enabling activities, such as
enabling for multi-core technology, which will also deliver enhanced benefits.

back to topHow do partner initiatives differ from partner tracks?
The partner program is organized into partner tracks - digital home,
digital office, digital enterprise and mobility. You begin to customize the program when you select one or more of these tracks during program enrollment. By opting into at least one track, you open a door to a valuable portfolio of core program benefits.
Each partner initiative is aligned with at least one partner track. By joining an initiative, you gain additional resources and benefits beyond the portfolio of core program benefits.
