Client Use of Elite Partners for Services Work and Supportability

Elite clients may choose to use an Elite Alliance Partner or an Elite Services Partner for services work. Both Alliance Partners and Services Partners play valuable roles in our eco-system. Elite partners with regard to specific products, recognizing the potential client benefit from working with partners who specialize in these areas. Alliance and Services Partners may be eligible for Elite education and training. Services partners qualify for additional options beyond education and training which include certification (currently available for 3E and ProLaw) and the ability to take part in the Elite Sandbox Program.

Partners who perform services work directly for Elite clients are responsible for warranting their own work and clients are encouraged to seek appropriate insurance verification and information from whomever performs their services work. In instances where clients use Elite partners to perform services work, Elite product support remains fully intact and available. Elite warrants all service work, including work done by partners, when the work is booked through Elite.

Getting Started

To become a Services Partner, simply complete our online application by providing basic information about your organization.

Elite does not require an annual membership fee for partners at any level. Instead, we require that each partner invest a minimum $3,500 per year as an exhibitor or sponsor at one of our three annual client events.

These conferences give you unprecedented access to current and potential clients, and are one of the biggest benefits of membership in the Thomson Reuters Elite Global Strategic Alliance Program. While we strongly encourage an in-person presence from your company, partners are not required to attend our events.

In addition, Services Partners may be eligible to purchase and participate in the Elite Partner Sandbox, a self-contained virtual machine where your developers can work hands-on with Elite’s 3E and Enterprise software.

Note: Elite reserves the right to change the terms of the Thomson Reuters Elite Global Strategic Alliance Program without notice.
