Is an Affiliate Partner agreement right for you?

If you are an individual consultant, developer, or project manager who works directly with IBM i customers and is in a position to recommend Sitemule products, the Affiliate level is the right fit. The minimum requirement is one qualifying sale per year. In return, you receive a commercial commission on each qualifying sale and first access to product news, releases, and new features before they reach the general market.

If you represent a company with an established IBM i practice rather than working as an individual, see Business Partner.

What membership includes

Commercial commission. Affiliate Partners receive a commission on each qualifying sale that originates from their recommendation. The rate is agreed upon joining. Payment is made by System & Method A/S on confirmation of the qualifying sale.

Early access. Affiliate Partners are the first to receive product updates, release previews, and access to new features before general availability. This is not a courtesy - it is a practical advantage. Knowing what is coming before your customers do puts you in a position to advise them well, and ahead of the market.

Product news and direct communication. Affiliate Partners receive direct communication from the System & Method product team - not newsletter marketing, but relevant updates on the platform, the roadmap, and the things that affect the customers you work with.

Community. Affiliate membership is as much a community as a commercial arrangement. Members share a direct line to the people building the platform - and to each other.

Requirements

Affiliate membership requires a minimum of one qualifying sale per year. A qualifying sale is a new Sitemule product or module sale to a customer where the Affiliate Partner's recommendation was the originating contact.

Affiliate Partners are expected to stay current on the Sitemule platform - products, modules, and positioning - and to represent it accurately to their customers. System & Method provides the materials and the access to make that straightforward.

Joining

Affiliate membership is open to small companies, individual IBM i consultants, developers, and project managers. There is no joining fee. To apply, get in touch with a brief description of your IBM i practice and the customers you work with. We will confirm membership and agree the commission terms in a short exchange.
