Intel India collaboration with Techno Park

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Intel India has agreed upon a working engagement model with Techno Park here to offer the Intel Software Partner Program (ISPP), a programme for Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) developing applications on Intel platforms and technologies.

Under the programme, Intel gives ISVs tools and resources they need to enable, market, and sell innovative applications that run on Intel technolopgies ranging from mobile to multi-core to virtualisation technology, Intel Software and Solutions Group Asia Pacific Director Narendra Bhandari told reporters here today.

The programme helps software organizations to be more competitive with resources to support them through all phases of their business cycle, he said.

Techno Park CEO N Radhakrishnan Nair said the programme would help the medium and small software organisations in the Park. "We hope that this alliance will be beneficial and enterprising for all the parties involved", he added.

On investment possibilities, Bhandari said it would depend upon the progress of the tie up. 'This is our first Park oriented and cluster focussed ISPP", he said.

Intel will offer ISPP to the member companies of Technopark as well as research and development support for niche ISVs and would also invest in marketing initiatives in terms of resources that were aimed at enhancing the scale efforts of the partner companies.
