All of the world's IT challenges simply can't be solved by any single vendor. So to meet the complex needs of today's customers, technology companies with a common vision must work together to leverage complementary technologies and resources.
 
That's why PLATINUM established the PLATINUM Partners Program—to build a consortium of the best technology companies in the business. The PLATINUM Partners Program has grown dramatically since its inception and now includes industry leaders such as Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Sun, PeopleSoft, SAP, Oracle, Informix, Sybase, AT&T, and more.
