Business Development Partnership Guide

Objective

The purpose of the Business Development Partnership (BDP) is to establish strong progressive business relationships with well established Information Technology and System Integrators Companies who have the experience and human and financial capabilities and resources to market, sell, implement, and support Interact HRMS applications. The intent of the BDP is not to develop a large number of resellers, but to develop a small number of business partners that are very well focused, knowledgeable, and committed to our vision and mission and to InteractHRM as a product. The reason for developing such a program is that we know that we cannot cover the whole globe no matter what resources we allocate. Additionally we would like to rely on IT companies with local and regional expertise who have experience with local business practices, specifically in Human Resources Management. Our philosophy behind the development of Interact HRMS is that “We do not sell software, we provide HR Solution and Knowledge.”, the primary driver of any successful business is not the technology, but people and the knowledge they contribute. If you share this philosophy, and have the experience and know-how, then we welcome your application as a potential Business Development Partner.
