Tyco Security Products announces the expansion of its Connected Partner Program for third-party solutions to integrate to its Software House, American Dynamics, Kantech and Illustra brands. By participating in the Connected Partner Program, technology partners are better able to create powerful solutions within the security marketplace because of their integration with various Tyco Security Products platforms for access control, surveillance and video and event management.

As a qualifying partner in the Connected Partner Program, companies have private access to Tyco Security Products’ fully equipped laboratories as well as contact with Tyco’s technical and engineering support professionals. Participants in the program maintain control over their own integrations to utilize software development kits (SDK), application program interface (API) or through web services.

Using a self-certification process, partners can manage the integration timeline through its various stages at their own pace, including application, pre-development, development, testing and launch. Tyco Security Products has already successfully run its Connected Partner Program for its Software House brand, with more than 300 integrations to date.

“The expansion of the Connected Partner Program allows new partners to leverage Tyco Security Products’ expertise across many platforms for product integrations while maximizing their access to our wide-ranging and high-level customer base,” said Kristy Dunchak, Director of Product Management, Integration Solutions and Programs, Tyco Security Products. “This program helps us to bring a broader range of solutions to our customers and provides them with valuable tools for continued growth and success.”

Program partners will be featured as a trusted and approved partner, giving both parties robust joint marketing opportunities and strengthening the partner companies’ position in the marketplace.

Participation in the Connected Partner Program begins with an online application. Interested applicants can contact the Connected Partner Program team at tspconnect@tycoint.com. For more information on the Connected Partner Program, visit www.tycosecurityproducts.com.
