Partnering : becoming more than the sum of our parts
"Partnering has proven itself one of the most powerful business tools for dealing with fast changing markets, technologies and customers. As the global economy speeds up, partnering is becoming the weapon of choice for today's successful competitors."
Curtis E. Sahakian
Outsmart is a leading player in the next generation of software development companies specialising in the development of compelling Rich Internet Applications. Our aim is to capitalise on the new potential of web-based software to deliver practical, persuasive, and unique benefits to clients and their users.
We recognise that no single company – regardless of size – can always effectively supply all aspects of a customer solution. When opportunities arise that exceed the capacity or expertise of ourselves or our partners, we work together to maximise the leverage of our mutual skills and capability for the benefit of one another and the customer.
Types of Partnerships
Outsmart primarily works with three types of partners;
- Systems Integrators
- Web Developers and New Media agencies
- Technology Partners
Systems Integrators
Systems Integrators form a critical link between an organisation's strategic business drivers and the selection of appropriate technology and technology-providers to maximise the success of a project. The desktop-like interactivity and responsiveness of RIAs together with the widespread reach of the browser create new possibilities for the integration and deployment of process management and information systems. Outsmart partners with leading Systems Integrators, bringing our proven track record and class-leading experience and capacity in RIA design and development.
Web Developers & New Media agencies
Rich Internet Applications are the natural evolution of the growing convergence of traditional websites and desktop-based software applications. They marry the "reach" and design-orientation of the former with the "richness" and engineering-orientation of the latter. RIAs provide a more dynamic and seamless repertoire of interaction with the user enabling more sophisticated processes and information to be presented and managed. Outsmart partners with New Media Creatives; synergising our respective skill-base to deliver exciting new weblications and next-generation websites.
Technology Partners
Rich Internet Applications are generating new opportunities to enhance existing software and internet-based products and services, and to create new ones. Outsmart's proven capability as a world-class RIA developer adds practical and unique differentiation to Software-As-A-Service, web-commerce, and other horizontal and vertical market technology solutions.
The benefits of partnering
Our experience with partnering is that it can provide a range of benefits to all parties.
Differentiate your product or service
Outsmart's Rich Internet Application technology provides an exciting and grounded new way to differentiate a product or service offering. The internet is accelerating the globalisation and corresponding competition of markets. With it comes the same question from prospects, "What makes your approach different"? Partnering with Outsmart's smart technology and clever thinking can provide just the decisive advantage your product or service needs to win the day, and the market.
Expand your market and maximise customer-base revenue
The market for Rich Internet Applications is set to explode in the next year and beyond. More and more customers and end-users are demanding an improved software and web experience, moving in the direction of experiences that let them accomplish their goals as efficiently, reliably, and predictably as possible. Outsmart can complement your existing capability by bringing our technology insight and extensive experience to opportunities that you might not otherwise be equipped to undertake, thereby maximising the opportunity value of your customer base and sales efforts.
Follow and lead
Project opportunities for partnering typically arise either collaboratively from established partnerships, or are themselves the impetus for new potential partnerships. Often the client-facing and management is handled by the partner that brings the opportunity to the partnership, and in other cases it is managed collaboratively. In either case, in our experience, it is important to clearly agree on and establish roles and responsibilities for each partner so that the expectations of all parties are well managed. Using tried and trusted best practices, Outsmart is committed to creating partnering relationships with other leading organisations that work to everyone's advantage.

Our objective is to always add exceptional and unparalleled value to your business or organisation.
