Thank you for your interest in the NI Alliance Partner program. There are six steps in the application process:
- Identify an NI Sponsor. To be accepted into the Alliance Partner program, you must be sponsored by an NI manager. For solutions partners (for example, consultants and integrators), this is typically the NI salesperson for your particular geographical or business area. For product partners, this is typically the NI product marketing manager for the complementary NI product area. If you are unable to identify a sponsor, contact Alliance.Administrator@ni.com.
- Create a User Profile for Your Membership Manager. If you have not already done so, please create this user profile. The Membership Manager maintains your Alliance Partner profile and receives all communication about your membership status (for example, registration, renewals, program fees, and more). Please note that this person does not have to be your Primary Contact for sales and marketing opportunities.
- Complete the Alliance Partner Program Online Application. By providing accurate information about your company, products, and services, you can help National Instruments determine if and how our companies can best work together.
- Pay the Alliance Partner Program Application Fee. After completing the application form, you will be directed to our online store to pay the non-refundable application fee. After your payment is received, NI forwards your application to the appropriate NI sponsor team for review.
- Please Wait while NI Reviews Your Application. NI will notify you of your application status within one week of reviewing your application for:
- Competency in the use of NI products or the complementary nature of your products as they relate to NI
- Clear business goals and strategy for partnering with NI
- Customer references that demonstrate your technical abilities and successful business practices
- Pay the Remaining Annual Program Fee. Once you are accepted into the Alliance Partner program, you will receive a confirmation e-mail with a link to our online store, where you can pay the remaining annual program fee.
