Learn about Digi International's OEM/Strategic Account
Sales Program, including services, technical support, training, and marketing
opportunities.
Product Roadmap Reviews
Digi recognizes the significance in exchanging information concerning strategic
direction and future products. When presenting the Digi Product Roadmap, we
will define where we are in product development cycles, as well as future product
plans. Product Roadmap reviews will also include a project plan review should
Digi have ongoing development and support of your products. The Digi Product
Roadmap may be presented quarterly or semi-annually at your request.
Business Reviews
Digi finds it crucial that we obtain feedback from our customers. We encourage "report
cards" showing us how we measure to your expectations in the many different
areas, including administration, operations and support. Although much of this
is done in daily operations, it is often helpful to take a snapshot of how we
are servicing you at a given point in time. Your feedback is very important
to us and will be reviewed by Digi's management staff. Should corrective action
be requested, a response and/or corrective action plan will be presented to
you in a timely manner.

Engineering Notification Services
Many times it is essential that our engineering teams operate synergistically
toward a common goal. To reach the common goal more effectively, it is important
to understand how we must communicate new hardware and software revisions,
and implement such changes in a timely fashion. It is Digi's intent to assure
commitments are met before and after changing a product. The key to communicating
those changes is through your Account Manager. A procedure has been established
which notifies your Account Manager of any changes forthcoming to the products
you purchase from Digi. This will help prepare your engineering group to schedule
the necessary changes and/or testing. You will need to notify your Account
Manager how and to what detail you need to be notified.
Training and Seminars
