With the recent join of our PLM Marketplace program by Tata Technologies & Incat in 10 countries worldwide, we have in a few weeks dozens of newcomers on this website, and it is the ideal time to point out how it works.

Our program covers now 74 VARs worldwide, within 33 countries and almost 400 sales people participating. Our latest members are in Northern America and Asia / Pacific, geographies were we want to expand. Since this is quite fresh, many Managers contacted are well aware of what can be done, but we need to communicate directly with all Sales people involved on the field.

1. on www.plmmarketplace.com public page, everybody including customers and prospects has access to technical and marketing information about 130+ products (videos, brochures and testimonials) and may request quotations if they find the specialized product they need.
2. on www.plmmarketplace.com private page (access on top right with the sign in / login / password) only VAR members of the PLM MarketPlace program will get access. Only in this section will you get a private access to price lists, compensations, EULAs, order forms and a few more marketing materials. This is also here that you will [declare opportunities] to Dassault Systemes partners and start working with them to define customer project scope and handle the sale (use the [request support] button)
3. on Linked In (http://www.linkedin.com/e/gis/1092407) you have access to our customer / partner / DS forum where you can start interacting with potentially new partners and customers. Although access to this social group is private and allows connection to real human being (not people hidden by a pseudo like on a blog), no confidential business information shall be exposed here.

Please make sure your VAR company is listed in our reseller list with a link to your VAR website. This shall happen only if your website is publishing our label "Connected To PLM MarketPLace". More details on our net-linking VAR program here

These are just a few reminders for all newcomers, don't hesitate to let us know if something else must be clarified. We want with this program to have user feedbacks to make sure Sales people feel good with the information they get here.
