IonPartners are professionals who currently serve customers who have technology or process challenges. IonPartners want to be able to earn money by solving those challenges without doing the technical work themselves. In addition, there are a variety of reasons an IonPartner might join the program:

IonPartners come from a range of backgrounds.
Independent consultants and consulting firms call on IonIdea to handle technical work. This lets the consultant focus on doing the work they love—strategy and relationship management.
Independent sales professionals simply pull IonIdea into the portfolio of solutions they’re already providing. With IonIdea, they have a one-stop shop that can handle any tech challenge they encounter. With a solution for every problem, they’re able to solve more problems. That deepens their reputation as trusted advisors and provides earning opportunities.
Software companies (and other tech-solution providers) look to IonIdea as a preferred Systems Integrator (SI). They appreciate having a reliable, consistent SI who they can trust to help their customers get more value from their solutions, faster. They like receiving a share of the professional services fees, without having to maintain a services team.
Specialized IT Services providers bring in IonIdea to fill their gaps. Specialized providers are incredible at very specific work, and often don’t want to dilute that focus. Even so, they appreciate being able to earn more revenue when they discover clients’ other challenges, and they value being able to provide holistic solutions through IonIdea.
IonIdea pays generous referral fees to IonPartners who provide guided introductions to new clients. For IonPartners who manage those conversations from the start until the signed agreement, IonIdea provides even greater compensation.
No matter the nature of your relationships with your clients, IonIdea has a structure that works for you.
Through the IonPartner program, IonIdea provides a wide range of support, including:
When it comes to sales, a second opinion on your deals can be invaluable. That’s why IonIdea meets regularly with IonPartners to help them assess their deals, next steps, and keep those deals on track to close.
Employees are among a business’s greatest expenses. IonIdea’s business structure and international footprint enable clients to expand their development capabilities while protecting themselves from additional risk or cost creep.
No one is born a sales expert. That’s why IonIdea has retained Maestro Group, a sales consulting firm, specifically to provide sales training and frameworks for IonPartners. You’ll have access to Maestro Group’s training programs, which will help you sell more of your own services, as well as IonIdea’s.
Many companies, from venture-backed tech startups to some of the world’s biggest and most reputable brands—like Alcatel, Altice, Blue Cross, Cable & Wireless, Charter Communications, Cisco, Dynatrace, Fannie Mae, France Telecom, Hughes, MetLife, Orange, PTC, Samsung, Spacenet, etc.—have relied upon IonIdea’s tech capabilities for over 31 years.
With more than 1,000 employees, IonIdea is a one-stop shop for high-quality results for practically any tech or process challenge.
We care about IonPartners, and we know your success means our success. We invest heavily in IonPartners like you, helping you achieve your unique goals through the program.
