Intro to Q-SYS Partner Ecosystem

[Music]

As you've learned so far,

Q-SYS is an incredibly versatile platform.

But we make no illusions to the idea that we are manufacturing every element in the system.

That's why we extend the power and the possibilities of the platform

with programs like the Q-SYS Alliance and ecosystem Partners,

which creates Q-SYS technology Integrations with the aim of delivering your Customers more options,

more flexibility, and reduced time and cost of deployment.

First, Q-SYS works closely with our alliance Partners like

Google, Intel, Lenovo, Microsoft, and Zoom to create deep Integrations

and Customer-facing programs and feature sets to enable CES in larger ecosystems.

Let's face it, our Customers are making decisions  

based on their preferences in these other ecosystems,

often times based on long-standing investments.

So they want to know that when they connect this grander ecosystem to Q,

the solution is seamless and delivers a value greater than the sum of its parts.

Next is our technology partner program, or TPP for short.

It's made up of third-party Manufacturers and software providers

that create Enterprise API Integrations and plugins for  

their own products to then integrate into Q-SYS.

On the flip side, the Q-SYS developer partner program,

or DPP, is dedicated to developing control plugins on behalf of the technology Partners

so they can rapidly develop, market, and sell scalable Integrated Solutions.

This is how these programs come together:

the technology partner will initiate the scope and  

development of a control plugin and then collaborate with Q-SYS on requirements.

And when technology Partners need developer resources,

developer Partners can receive a referral to develop plugins  

based on their individual skills and resources.

They proceed to develop the plugin,

submit it to Q-SYS for testing and certification,

and then we prep it to be published.

Lastly,

it's worth noting that Q-SYS programmers and developers  

everywhere have a neighborhood to exchange assets,

code, and seed ideas, aptly named Q-SYS's communities.

It's a one-stop shop for sharing and troubleshooting,  

with a fully searchable code exchange,

searchable libraries, and dozens of forums, and so much more.

And that's Q-SYS Alliance and ecosystems at a 10,000 ft view.

Thanks for watching, and we'll see you next time.
