Tier A- Partner Consultent/Dealer/Intgrater Programe

This program is exclusively for GVS's key partners, as evidenced by market demand for joint solutions, from GVS and a Solution Partner, that require a robust test plan executed in GVS's industry-leading Systems Integration Lab.

Additionally, more detailed testing involves a higher level of fault injection and data integrity checking to ensure the industry's most robust, highest performing solutions. Solution Partners receive all the benefits of the Partner Tested program, plus:

  • Testing and validation in GVS's System Integration Lab
  • High-availability test plan
