For technology vendors

You don't need to build an assessment engine to offer one.

Refer opportunities, resell to customers you already serve, or connect assessment straight into your own product, without years of building and maintaining an assessment platform yourself.

Three ways in

Choose the route that fits your business

The right route depends on how you already reach customers. All three run on the same assessment technology, and partners can move between them as the relationship grows.

01Referral

“I know organisations that need this.”

Refer opportunities our way

You know your network, and where assessment comes up in it, better than we do. Point us in the right direction, stay as involved as you want, and we take care of qualifying, selling and delivering from there.

You: finding the customer. Paragin: selling and contracting, implementation, support for users, where users work, assessment engine.

  • Introductions registered, so your referral stays yours
  • We close and deliver, so there is no delivery load on you
  • Move to resale later if the volume justifies it

02Reseller

“I already serve this market.”

Resell, implement and support

Bring Paragin's assessment technology to customers you already serve, and add your own layer around it, whether that's local sales, implementation, consultancy or support. Some partners sell directly, others through an existing framework or buying group.

You: finding the customer, selling and contracting. Agreed together: implementation, support for users. Paragin: where users work, assessment engine.

  • Deal registration, with your customer relationships protected in writing
  • Keep your own implementation and services revenue

03Integrated

“I have a platform and need a capability.”

Connect assessment into your own product

If assessment needs to live inside your platform, Paragin connects through a documented API, LTI and SSO. Your users get assessment without leaving your product, and you never build or certify an assessment engine yourself.

Questions

What technology vendors ask us

How can a technology vendor partner with Paragin?

In three ways: refer opportunities our way, resell, implement and support Paragin's assessment technology for customers you already serve, or connect assessment into your own product. All three run on the same assessment technology, and partners can move between them as the relationship grows.

How does Paragin connect to our product?

Through a documented API, plus LTI and SSO, with documentation and technical support for every supported integration. Your users get assessment without leaving your product. It starts with a technical scoping conversation.

Do we have to build or certify an assessment engine ourselves?

No. Paragin Group provides the assessment engine, including secure exam delivery, item banking, psychometric analysis and ISO 27001 information security, so you don't spend years building and maintaining one.

Do we keep our customer relationships?

Yes. Referrals are registered, so an introduction stays yours, and resale comes with deal registration, with your customer relationships protected in writing.

Can we keep our own implementation and services revenue?

Yes. As a reseller you add your own layer around Paragin's assessment technology, such as local sales, implementation, consultancy or support, and you keep that revenue.
