Stage-Gate® Alliance Program - For
Vendors:
As adoption of the Stage-Gate process has increased (nearly
80% of North American companies are using stage and gate processes) so too has the demand
for products and services that support and enable Stage-Gate processes such as Idea Management,
Idea-to-Launch and Portfolio Management.

How the Alliance Program Works
Providers of innovation enabling tools and solutions can participate in any one of three
levels:
| Level I |
Advertise your solution in the Stage-Gate Solutions
Directory. Stage-Gate Inc. does not evaluate or endorse these products. This
is a listing service. View the Stage-Gate Solutions
Directory. |
| Level II |
Submit your software application to the Stage-Gate Ready Certification program
- an evaluation of 200+ innovation related criteria, conducted by a Stage-Gate
expert. Upon certification you will receive a Stage-Gate Ready logo plus a detailed
report card outlining how the software application performed on mandatory and optional
criteria - an excellent way to differentiate your product from others. View
a current list of Stage-Gate Ready Certified tools. |
| Level III |
Vendors who not only submit to Level II certification, but who have
their commitment to advance the adoption of Stage-Gate best practices through their
continuous evolution of their software application, integration of Stage-Gate best
practice methodologies, frameworks and processes and who have a solid track
record of superior customer satisfaction. Can apply for level III consideration.
