STEP 2: INTEGRATE
Partners that have been accepted into the Websense Technology Alliance Partner Program will develop a technical integration with Websense using standardized interfaces and development specifications. Websense will provide developer support for the partner during the integration process.

STEP 3: CERTIFY
Once development of the integration is complete, the partner will submit the joint solution for certification testing. The certification process will include comprehensive testing on the integration to ensure that the joint solution meets critical functional and technical specifications. After certification testing is complete, the partner is a member of the Websense Technology Alliance Program.

STEP 4: Market & Enhance Websense will work closely with the partner to ensure the market success of the joint solution. The partner will be assigned a Websense Strategic Alliance Manager (SAM) who will be the partner’s prime advocate within Websense, and will drive co-marketing activities, field engagement and support alignment with the partner. The SAM will also work with the partner to evolve and prioritize enhancements to the integration, and will ensure the availability of development support and certification resources as applicable.
