Strategic Partnership

Pardus Strategic Partnerships are categorized into three groups: Transformation, Solution, and Training Partnerships

• Transformation Partnership covers the phases required for institutional Pardus migration, including Analysis, Proof of Concept, Pilot, and Deployment stages.
• Solution Partnership refers to our partners who operate in a specific technology domain compatible with Pardus or in relation to an open-source product. For example, applications may be submitted for general areas such as Databases or Application Virtualization, as well as for specific products such as Zimbra or MariaDB. Even if a product itself is not open-source, it may still be considered within the scope of a Solution Partnership if it provides value in reducing platform dependencies.
• Training Partnership represents companies with the capacity to provide training on various open-source technologies.

A single company may apply for partnerships in multiple categories. These criteria may evolve over time to become more restrictive and selective in parallel with the growth of the ecosystem. However, companies that fail to meet their expected responsibilities within a reasonable timeframe, or whose activities are found to be inconsistent with the interests of the Pardus project, may be removed from the partnership list regardless of the criteria they initially satisfied.

All partners are required to display the relevant Pardus partnership logos on appropriate sections of their corporate websites. During the application process, certain summary information must also be provided to enable the promotion of the company on the official Pardus website.

Other criteria are as follows:
