Rove Launches Alliance Partner Program
Program provides opportunity to partners as need to access servers and computer applications from handheld devices increases
May 12, 2008 - OTTAWA - Rove Mobile Inc. (www.rovemobile.com), the world's leading provider of enterprise software for handhelds, today announced the launch of its Rove Alliance Partner Program (RAPP) The Rove Alliance Partner Program is designed to provide partners with new market opportunities and the tools needed to drive maximum revenue from the resale of Rove’s product line. As the demand for remote access grows, Rove’s unique mobile software has become increasingly popular for its ability to allow users to access and manage servers and computer applications from their handheld devices, eliminating the need to carry a laptop computer.
With more than 100 of the Fortune 500 companies already Rove’s customers, partners have an enormous opportunity to leverage what is fast becoming an industry necessity -- having remote network administration and access to all their business computer applications. As companies continue to embrace handheld devices, like the Blackberry, partners can offer their customers a tremendous value-add with Rove’s leading edge enterprise mobility solutions.
The Rove Alliance Partner Program offers four different ways to get involved.
Referral Partners: At this entry level of partnership, Referrals partners are recognized for pointing their clients towards Rove.
Regional Vertical Alliance Partners (RVAP): At the highest level of partnership, RVAPs have made an investment into training and building a mobile solutions practice that positions them as trusted advisors of Rove products. RVAPs receive a wealth of marketing and sales tools featured in the Rove Partner Portal, with an additional focus on joint planning, co-branded marketing and webinars that provide our customers with the highest levels of service and support. RVAPs also have access to the Salesforce Partner Portal where they can see incoming leads and register and track Rove opportunities.
Rove Technology Alliance Partner (RTAP): Rove has created partnerships with leading Technology companies to support a number of different platforms and technologies that help ensure that clients gain access to their IT infrastructure and key application data from anywhere at anytime.
Rove Carrier Alliance Partner (RCAP): Rove has created a number of key strategic partnerships with leading global carriers to ensure their clients gain access to the resources and information they need no matter where they are in the world.

Rove is helping make that prediction a reality today by offering a full line of products for both enterprise workers and “pro-sumers” that allows them to do everything they can do on their computer from the convenience of a mobile device.
