Symbian has launched the ‘Symbian Ready’ technology validation program.
The aim is to ensure that Symbian get access to the best solutions and that ecosystem partners can showcase their wares to handset manufacturers through a variety of co-marketing initiatives such as the Symbian Ready Directory and promotion on Symbian Developer Network.
Symbian Ready will comprise two strands at launch – Symbian Ready AUTO and Symbian Ready VERO. The former consists of best practice criteria for specific technology areas which partners then use to self-validate their solutions.
The partner submits a compliance specification document to Symbian and the solution is then jointly promoted as Symbian Ready AUTO.
Symbian Ready VERO publsihes detailed test specifications for functional areas, and then verifying the partner’s solution. Once Symbian is satisfied that the solution has satisfied the required criteria, the partner is able to use the Symbian Ready logo to jointly promote it as Symbian Ready VERO.
