How the Global Partner Network works:

Once you’ve become a member of the Accelerance Global Partner Network, you’ll receive leads from companies worldwide that come to Accelerance searching for rapid access to qualified outsourcing resources. Your relationship with the client and with Accelerance differs depending on which program the client prefers.

Outsourcing Jumpstart - by Region or Technology

Accelerance provides each client with three things: (1) information on multiple (three to five) members of the Accelerance Global Partner Network from either one region or one area of technology; (2) a Vendor Selection guide to help them source, screen, and select the best vendor for their program; and (3) an hour of coaching from an outsourcing expert advisor at Accelerance.

As a Global Partner Network member, you receive qualified lead information and sales coaching from Accelerance. Clients will contact you directly to build a relationship and negotiate an outsourcing agreement.

Accelerance will provide you insight and advice on your performance during the sales process, but our main mission is to deliver unbiased and objective advice to the client to help them select the best vendor. Accelerance will not favor one Global Partner Network member over another - you each have a fair chance at winning the business based on your strengths and your match with the client's needs.

Contract negotiation, project management, invoicing and payment are directly between you and the client. When you win a deal, you copy Accelerance on each invoice you send to the client and remit a referral fee to Accelerance.

Outsourcing Jumpstart - Global

Outsourcing Jumpstart - Custom has similar benefits to Outsourcing Jumpstart by country / technology, but expands the search across all members of the Accelerance Global Partner Network worldwide – geographically and technologically. Using a proprietary Accelerance automated process, Accelerance is able to match client needs with the outsourcing geographies, technologies and teams worldwide that are the best fit for them. Accelerance provides hands-on coaching of up to five hours, by Accelerance expert advisors, to help clients select the best team for their projects.

Rapid Ramp-Up Services

Clients use the Outsourci

ng Jumpstart - Global process described above to select a member of the Accelerance Global Partner Network. Then Accelerance works with the client and you to build the relationship, negotiate the outsourcing arrangement, and set up the program. Accelerance also provides management oversight and handles invoicing and payment collection. Accelerance subcontracts the program to you and remits your normal fee after receipt of payment from the client.

The Accelerance Rapid Ramp-Up service provides clients with expert Accelerance support during the first six months of the outsourcing engagement. Rapid Ramp-Up provides a collection of management oversight, tools, and coaching to help get the outsourcing project off to the right start. After six months, the client takes the program over with their internal resources and works directly with you.

The Accelerance Rapid Ramp-Up - Prime service delivers the benefits described in the Rapid Ramp-Up description above, but continues beyond the first six months, if the client wants ongoing oversight and support for their outsourced software development.
