Software Vendor

Expand your offerings and expand your market.

Whether your innovation delivers software that benefits from SUSE® Linux Enterprise capabilities or software that compliments Novell management, security or collaboration products, we'll help you speed up the software development process and gain access to Novell customers and partners.

The Novell PartnerNet program offers you a quick, easy, and efficient way to certify your application on the Linux platform engineered for mission-critical workloads. Certifying your applications on SUSE Linux Enterprise helps create new opportunity and expanded customer reach for your products.

Novell is also a key sponsor of the Mono® project, which saves .NET developers time and money in bringing their products to market. Mono allows you to port and run .NET applications on SUSE Linux Enterprise without a significant investment in rewriting code, reducing the expense and human resources involved with porting.

As an ISV you can also take advantage of the SUSE Appliance Program. Bundle your application with a subset of the SUSE Linux Enterprise platform in a single image, incorporating only the packages needed to run the application. The SUSE Appliance Program gives you the flexibility to deliver turnkey solutions based on your application and SUSE Linux Enterprise as software or virtual appliances. At the same time, you benefit from simplified development, quicker time to market, simpler product maintenance, and support.

A Novell partnership accelerates your success by allowing you to reduce costs, manage complexity and mitigate risks for your customers—and invest in your profit potential. Imagine what's possible when you expand your reach to include our infrastructure software and ecosystem of partnerships.
