Alcatel-Lucent Partner Support Plus for all

Alcatel-Lucent Application Partner Program
The Alcatel-Lucent Application Partner Program (AAPP) aims to develop a strong ecosystem through partnerships. This enables us to enrich the solutions we offer to our enterprise customers and Business Partners and to remain at the forefront of industry innovations. The Program supports companies that develop applications that complement the Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise solution portfolio.

Why become an Alcatel-Lucent Application Partner?
Alcatel-Lucent is committed to open standards. This approach results in powerful platforms on which innovative applications can be developed. For developers looking to create added-value applications, the AAPP brings three main advantages:

- Easy interface with Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise products: We provide a range of standards-based application programming interfaces (APIs) and networking interfaces. We also provide access to our Technical Knowledge database as well as development assistance and virtual labs. These enable all AAPP members to benefit fully from the potential of Alcatel-Lucent products
- Testing and verification of a comprehensive range of third-party applications: A certification process guarantees interoperability between certified applications and Alcatel-Lucent platforms
- Promotion of AAPP solutions: The AAPP helps Partners promote their applications with Alcatel-Lucent customers and Business Partners through a wide range of initiatives
- These benefits allow our members to develop and promote innovative applications that are interoperable with Alcatel-Lucent environments
