Five partner programs — VAR & Referral, ISV, Developer, and Co-Marketing — one data-access layer underneath all of them.
Partner Programs

Five ways to put our data-access layer to work in your business.
Pick the one that matches how you already sell.

We’re committed to building relationships across the System Integrator, Developer, and Software Vendor communities — with a program shaped for how your business actually makes money, not a one-size-fits-all reseller form.

OpenLink partner programs, exploded Exploded view: OpenLink software, the Virtuoso and UDA data-access layer, is licensed outward through five partner programs, among them VIP, ISV, Developer and Co-Market. Systems integrators, ISVs and developers use them to resell, embed or build on it and to co-market with OpenLink, gaining discounts, support and exposure in return.

One partner program isn’t one size. Resell as a VAR, build against developer editions, embed as an ISV, or simply co-market — pick the shape that matches how your business already sells.

Most vendors offer partners a single reseller agreement and call it a program. We run five, because a boutique consultancy, a software vendor embedding our drivers, and a systems integrator reselling Virtuoso on commission are not the same business — and shouldn’t sign the same contract.

Choose your shape

Five programs, one underlying platform#

Every program draws on the same thirty-year-old ODBC/JDBC/ADO.NET data-access layer and Virtuoso platform — only the commercial shape changes.

VIP
Virtuoso Integrated Business Partner

For systems integrators and consultancies doing application development, data integration, or consulting. Resell on a VAR or referral basis, with a listing in our partner directory.

Benefits: 90-day Virtuoso Commercial Edition developer license · discounted training · marketing exposure · technical support resources.

ISV
Independent Software Vendor Program

For vendors building solutions that need sophisticated data-access and integration middleware. Acquire our products at a discount, then resell as an add-on to your own customers.

Benefits: extended license period · marketing exposure · technical support resources · discounted training.

UDA Developer
ODBC / JDBC / ADO.NET Developer Program

For internal application development only — no resale. Acquire developer editions of our Data Access Drivers for building against, not shipping.

Benefits: technical support resources · marketing exposure · extended license period · discounted training.

Virtuoso Developer
Virtuoso Developer Program

The same internal-use-only shape as the UDA Developer Program, scoped to Virtuoso itself — for teams building against the platform, not reselling it.

Benefits: discounted training · technical support resources · marketing exposure.

Co-Marketing
Co-Marketing Program

The lightest-weight relationship: your product visibly offered alongside ours during business development, signaling compatibility en route to a joint sales recommendation.

Benefits: marketing exposure.

How to choose#

  • Reselling or referring deals? → VIP.
  • Embedding our technology in your own product? → ISV.
  • Building against our technology for internal use only, no resale? → the UDA Developer Program or the Virtuoso Developer Program, depending which platform you’re building on.
  • Just want visible compatibility? → Co-Marketing.

Why partner with us — the facts

Virtuoso already hosts public Data Spaces you can query yourself, right now — DBpedia, the knowledge graph derived from Wikipedia that sits at the core of the Linked Open Data cloud Knowledge Graph collective, and the Publications Office of the European Union’s own Cellar repository, both running live, public SPARQL endpoints on Virtuoso, amongst many others. When a prospect asks whether this has been proven at scale, point them at either one — or at many others across the same Linked Open Data cloud.
