Cisco Technology Developer Program

Membership Levels - Cisco offers Technology Developer Program membership to companies that hold a market leadership position, use Cisco technology, and share Cisco's strong commitment to customer service and satisfaction. Cisco will determine Membership level on a product by product basis upon acceptance into the Program.

• Cisco Technology Developer Partners have achieved the highest status in the program. At this level, the program provides rigorous testing to ensure Cisco compatibility and a high standard of quality. Partners can take advantage of co-marketing opportunities and share the power of the Cisco brand. Partners can also participate in events sponsored by Cisco that provide maximum exposure and customer reach. Customers know that the products offered have met Cisco standards for quality and compatibility, and members benefit from a high degree of credibility through Cisco endorsement. For details of benefits, see the table and list below.
• Cisco Technology Developer Affiliates have their products tested for interoperability with Cisco products. Affiliates have a limited listing on Cisco.com but do not receive full co-marketing benefits. For details of benefits, see the table and list below.
