ZF Zend Framework

Partnerships with the open-source Zend Framework project offer a number of benefits and are available in a range of categories.

Technology Partners, Certified Applications (ISVs), Hosting

Technology Partners is a partner program for companies that are providers of key enabling technologies that enhance and enable PHP programmers using Zend Framework to utilize, for instance, APIs and Web Services consumed in their applications and for those who would like to build support for their APIs and services into Zend Framework. This is a source code contribution relationship with the project and requires a Contributor License Agreement to be completed, just like other contributors to the Zend Framework community.

Certified Applications Partners (often called Independent Software Vendors or ISVs) are those with applications built on Zend Framework that would like to be listed as users of ZF, as well as leaders in the community who are helping contribute back to the community by staying current on Zend Framework.

Hosting Partners are those offering Zend Framework as part of the stack of web development and programming software available to their hosting customers. Zend Framework must be publicly mentioned and available from your company as a standard component of a hosting service or services that you provide.

Professional Support, Training, Consulting (SIs)

These partnerships qualify a company to be listed as available to provide Support, Training, and Consulting services (often called Systems Integrators or SIs). In order to qualify, a company/vendor must have a proven track record in delivering services for PHP 5 and Zend Framework and provide customer references that clearly document an ability to do so. Zend Certified Engineer certification is highly recommended. In the future, the Zend Framework community anticipates that certification for Zend Framework will be developed and this would be an additional requirement for partners.

Companies that would like to be listed as a services provider under the Support tab on this site, should contact ZFMarketing@zend.com with information that documents your track record with PHP 5 and Zend Framework (customer references are required).
