1.1 Overview

The physical and digital worlds are converging, and global industries are confronted with

challenges brought about by digital transformation and driven by this change. Digital

transformation has imposed a profound impact on the modes of businesses, product

development, sales, and service. Enterprise forms and structures are about to be redefined in

this digital society. In this digital transformation trend, not only carriers but also other

industries desire to take advantage of digital technologies to improve operation efficiency and

enhance development motivation.

Digital and cloud service transformations are about to take place. Traditional software vendors

are trying to grasp the opportunities to accelerate organization and strategy adjustment and

promote digital ecosystem evolution. Cloud service triggers transaction digitization in

software product chain and new players emerging in new digital industries. The cooperation

business model is becoming more flexible and concise to meet the demand of the

fast-growing eco-businesses.

Huawei Software Service Partner Program (SSPP) aims to globally recruit and cultivate

partners specialized in consulting, business customization, integration implementation, and

management services based on Huawei Digital Operation Enabling Platform, Digital Service

Enabling Platform, and Business Enabling System, providing integrated solutions and

services that meet and exceed customers' expectations. After joining in the program, partners

can acquire comprehensive sales training, development enablement training, profession

certification, and service support provided on Huawei leading software platforms, share

Huawei global carrier market, expand industry market together with Huawei, and share the

business success.

1.2 Target Partner Types

Currently, the SSPP targets the following types of partners:

Delivery Service Vendor (DSV): provides the integration implementation and customized

development services based on Huawei software platforms.

2.9 Obtaining Huawei Professional Service Support Huawei provides two types of technical support for partners in the delivery phase: basic

service and advanced support service. The TAC hotline provides remote technical support for

partners in the integration delivery phase during project delivery.

At the same time, partners need to build their own technical support teams to solve internal

project delivery issues. If issues cannot be solved within the partner and delivery project

teams, partners can seek help from Huawei.

2.9.1 Basic Service

Huawei provides the TAC technical service hotline, offering basic technical support to

partners. Partners can obtain Huawei's remote technical support service through the TAC

2.9.2 Advanced Service

When providing delivery services for customers and Huawei, DSV partners can supplement

or enhance their delivery capability by purchasing Huawei's advanced professional service to

ensure customer success.

For further information about the advanced service, advanced service purchase process, and

related interests, partners can contact corresponding alliance managers.

2.10 Improving and Evolving the Cooperation Relationship

2.10.1 Cooperation Governance Architecture

For DSV partners that are certified by Huawei, Huawei will assign corresponding alliance

managers to help partners establish the cooperation governance architecture. Then both

parties can build communication channels, communication mechanism, and upgrade channels,

establish joint working teams, and regularly or irregularly organize Huawei product

knowledge and roadmap sharing, project pipeline and project goal collaboration, business

cooperation collaboration, and cooperation management meetings and leader meetings.

Huawei will continuously improve and optimize the joint governance architecture based on

the cooperation phases and cooperation situation, improving the cooperation efficiency and

cooperation quality to the largest extent.

2.10.2 Partner Performance Evaluation

Huawei will comprehensively evaluate certified DSV partners from three aspects: business

contribution (30%), professional capabilities (40%), and customer success guarantee (30%),

and adjust partner levels and distribute Huawei resources every half a year based on the

evaluation results.

Partner's business contribution: annual accumulative contract amount between a partner

and Huawei or the annual accumulative contract amount of orders successfully obtained by Huawei in joint sales scenarios (Co-Sell).

Partner's professional capabilities: number, quality, and profession skills of experts

trained and certified by Huawei, and professional levels of partner solutions and integration services.

Customer success guarantee: timeliness of the delivery service, solving speed of live

network issues and faults, customer satisfaction or complaints, and customer success stories.

For details about the evaluation scheme and specifications, consult the corresponding

cooperation alliance manager.
