Use this exclusive, complimentary online reference library to get ahead in product planning, development, and marketing.

Wouldn’t it be great to have access to the same Gartner Research reports that Global 1000 companies rely on to plot their market moves? Now you can. The Intel® Software Partner Program is making select Gartner* Research titles available to program members at no charge through the Partner Library. The Partner Library also gives you special member access to technical books from Intel at a 40 percent discount and easy access to the Intel® Software Insight magazine, the Intel® Visual Adrenaline magazine, and a range of marketing how-to documents.

Visit the Partner Library often to get your hands on the latest Intel technology-related research and reference materials that will help you plan, develop, and market more effectively.

When you make business decisions about which markets to pursue or how to deploy scarce development resources, you want the latest data in front of you and the very best minds advising you. The world’s biggest companies pay thousands of dollars to commission research reports from Gartner*, IDC*, Forrester Research*, and other leading firms. But smaller companies without such resources often have to make important business decisions based on Internet research and reading industry publications.

Now you can benefit from the same research used by Global 1000 firms, thanks to the latest offering from the Intel® Software Partner Program: the Partner Library. The Partner Library is an online compendium of reference materials useful to independent software vendors (ISVs) in planning and strategizing, developing, and marketing your products.

Leading the list of resources is complimentary Gartner Research reports from the world’s leading information technology research and advisory company. Each quarter, as an Intel Software Partner Program member, you will have free access to five new Gartner Research reports that deal with technologies and market trends affecting Intel products and technologies.

Samples of reports now available on the Partner Library:

• Emerging Technology Analysis: Mini-notebooks. This report looks at the emerging mini-notebook product category, how it’s expected to grow and diversify in the next 24 months, which product features will be critical for success, new channels for marketing mini-notebooks, and different market positioning for the devices.
• Virtualization Changes Virtually Everything. This special report focuses on the impact of virtualization on traditional IT focus areas, as well as future impact and planning aspects.
• How Multicore Servers Affect Applications and IT Modernization. Learn how the use of multicore processors in servers is expected to cause unexpected impacts on application development and data center operations.

In addition to a selection of reports from Gartner Research that is refreshed quarterly, the Partner Library also provides easy access to over 50 Intel books. These titles, most of which are written by industry experts, explain best practices and development insights related to the very latest Intel technologies. Intel books are invaluable aids in strategizing your development efforts and executing your development work efficiently. Best of all, Intel Software Partner Program members receive a 40 percent discount on all Intel books procured through the Partner Library. This discount is available exclusively to all Intel Software Partner Program members worldwide.

The Partner Library also includes free subscriptions to two leading online Intel magazines:

• Intel Software Insight is aimed at the software community and highlights current issues, topics, and technologies that are important to the industry. With contributions from a diverse array of industry notables, you’ll get expert viewpoints, technology roadmaps, and information on how companies are working with Intel to incorporate next-generation innovations.

Another valuable resource added to the Partner Library: marketing how-to documents featured on the Marketing and Sales Resources page of the Intel Software Partner Program website.
