Why companies partner with Iasta
Iasta offers greater flexibility, more choices and reliable, feature-rich software applications. Alliance partners have access to exceptional technology, domain and industry intelligence. By using Iasta's applications as a foundation, partners have the flexibility to sell and deliver their own comprehensive sourcing solutions. We combine Midwest sensibility with creative business intelligence to create a synergistic working relationship.

As an Iasta partner, companies can increase business opportunities as we work together to co-create custom sourcing solutions. Iasta's growth is based on our commitment to delivering long-term satisfaction to all of our customers, including our partners. We work with potential alliance partners in various ways.

• Consulting Partners - As a consulting partner, sourcing and procurement companies can utilize Iasta technology for their own custom services and processes. Iasta can facilitate the team's acquisition of new skills and capabilities, access to information or even provide additional project support as needed. We have several relationship models for our partners to choose from: Referral, Premier or Enterprise.
  
  
• International Resellers - Iasta will team with high-quality companies to extend our reach in specific areas or regions. For companies who demonstrate a shared commitment to delivering seamless customer solutions, we will co-develop strategies to help expand our joint presence in a targeted market. We have two relationship models for our partners to choose from: Agent or Reseller.
  
  
• Affiliate Partners - Iasta and our affiliate partners are committed to educating the sourcing community. We work together to communicate information through the eSourcing Forum (a blog), eSourcing Wiki (a dynamic, online series of white papers) or the eSourcing Handbook, about the benefits of sourcing best practices, process improvement and use of technology. Affiliate partners share knowledge and publish credited content through the various Iasta forums.
  
  
• Independent Sourcing Contractor - Iasta is always looking for great team members who are interested in being part of our independent sourcing contractor network. An independent sourcing contractor provides knowledge, experience and labor to perform sourcing-related jobs. To become a sourcing contractor, you must possess independent expertise in sourcing best practices or specific sourcing categories (indirect, direct) with an interest in short- or long-term source engagements.
  
  
• Technology Partner - Iasta establishes strong relationships with market leaders who compliment our own software applications.
