WELCOME!
New Expert Partner Program
The Becolve Digital Certification Program aims to provide the End User with the guarantee of qualified Partners, so that they can obtain the greatest profitability and functionality in their projects.
Through certification, two aspects of the Partner Companies are evaluated: the Individual Training of the personnel and the experience of the company in the implementation of projects based on Becolve Digital’s technological solutions.
- Partners who develop projects through Becolve solutions sporadically.
- Partners highly specialized in carrying out Edge projects (AVEVA Edge, Intouch) such as OEMs, small BMS, or installations, etc.
AVEVA Level: Edge
Grants access to the license to develop applications in AVEVA Edge and Intouch HML.
- Partners who develop projects through Becolve solutions regularly, with solutions from various areas and lines of business.
- Partners who require a higher level of service, access to a knowledge base of Becolve solutions, and reduced support response times.
- Level of access to "AVEVA Development Studio Consignment License" development licenses.
AVEVA Level: Registered
Grants access to the "Development Studio Consigment" development license.
- Partners who strategically commit, obtain official certifications, and have a special commitment to the services, technologies, and solutions provided by Becolve.
- Partners who require maximum standards of service, quality, and customer care, and who typically manage the critical systems of reference end users.
- It is the level of access to Becolve Digital's XPERT specializations and the technologies with which it works. Partners are certified by passing rigorous exams, both in technological knowledge and product knowledge.
- It is the level necessary to obtain the category of “Certified System Integrator” in any technology provided by Becolve (AVEVA, ULTIMO, etc.).
AVEVA Level: Certified
