Intel® Certified Solutions Program

Drive Increased Customer Trust and Confidence Through the Intel® Certified Solutions Program

The Intel® Certified Solutions Program, a key component of Intel Business Builder, is a powerful benefit for members of the Intel® Software Partner Program. It allows Partner Program members to certify their solution for specific Intel technologies and demonstrate that their solution has met specific security standards. Certified solutions are awarded the Intel Certified Powered by SpikeSource logo, a mark of distinction that enhances customer trust.

The Intel Certified Solutions Program leverages the SpikeSource Solutions Factory™, a proven automated platform for assembling, testing, packaging, and updating software solutions. Available to members of the Intel Software Partner Program, the certification service provides significant business value:

• Higher quality, more secure software products – The certification service enables ISVs to deliver software products that are enabled for Intel technologies and free of all known significant security vulnerabilities.

• Ongoing security and quality alerts – Through the SpikeSource Solutions Factory platform, the certification service will monitor the underlying components of your certified solution and send you email alerts regarding any security or interoperability issues as they are identified. You will receive all applicable alerts throughout your annual subscription period.

• Continuously certified products – Throughout your annual subscription to the certification service, you can re-certify updated versions of your software product without limit.

• Reduced development costs – ISVs can take advantage of tools, services, and development resources provided by the SpikeSource Solutions Factory™ platform that can help reduce and offload labor-intensive activities such as testing for security vulnerabilities.

• Reduced support costs – By ensuring software products that run well on Intel platforms and are more secure, certification results in fewer support calls and reduced support costs.

• Increased customer trust and confidence – Certification assures channel partners and prospective customers that a solution has met pre-defined standards for quality, security, and performance, giving them greater peace of mind in choosing to deploy the solution.
