Within the AMX community of independent programming companies, several firms approached AMX about developing a program tailored to support the delivery of custom control programming solutions to AMX end users.
On January 2, 2007, AMX launched the Valued Independent Programmers (VIP) program. The VIP program is designed to acknowledge, support and reward those companies whose core competencies lie in the design and delivery of custom control solutions on the AMX technology platform.
The program was established to support "the best of the best" of independent companies with AMX control system programming skills. Membership is supported through regional AMX Sales sponsorship and nomination of candidates.
There are a number of business and industry criteria that candidates must meet in order to become members of this exciting program. Candidates for the program cannot be associated with an AMX manufacturer representative firm or be an active AMX Dealer.
The program exists to support and enable those companies whose core business acumen is that of custom control programming services. Some of the membership criteria and benefits follow.
