Tyco Security Products has already successfully run its Connected Partner Programme for its Software House brand

Tyco Security Products has announced the expansion of its Connected Partner Programme for third-party solutions to integrate to its Software House, American Dynamics, Kantech and Illustra brands. By participating in the Connected Partner Programme, technology partners are better able to create powerful solutions within the security marketplace because of their integration with various Tyco Security Products platforms for access control, surveillance and video and event management.

Programme features

As a qualifying partner in the Connected Partner Programme, companies have private access to Tyco Security Products’ fully equipped laboratories as well as contact with Tyco’s technical and engineering support professionals. Participants in the programme maintain control over their own integrations to utilise software development kits (SDK), application programme interface (API) or through web services.

Managing integration timelines

Using a self-certification process, partners can manage the integration timeline through its various stages at their own pace, including application, pre-development, development, testing and launch. Tyco Security Products has already successfully run its Connected Partner Programme for its Software House brand, with more than 300 integrations to date.

Increased customer base

The expansion of the Connected Partner Programme allows new partners to leverage Tyco Security Products’ expertise across many platforms for product integrations while maximising their access to our wide-ranging and high-level customer base,” said Kristy Dunchak, Director of Product Management, Integration Solutions and Programs, Tyco Security Products. “This programme helps us to bring a broader range of solutions to our customers and provides them with valuable tools for continued growth and success.

Programme partners will be featured as a trusted and approved partner, giving both parties robust joint marketing opportunities and strengthening the partner companies’ position in the marketplace.
