Development Partner Program
The Development Partner Program (DPP) facilitates the integration of third-party solutions with Sage Timberline Office. Development partners are valuable resources that extend the functionality of Sage Timberline Office. Development partners receive valuable benefits, including technical support to help them independently develop integrated products, and marketing support to introduce and effectively promote the solutions to our channel and customers.

The Development Partner Program also supports Sage Timberline Office customers who want to customize the Sage Timberline Office functionality. These customers enroll in the program as a customer development partner. The solutions or customizations developed by customer development partners are licensed for internal use only and may not be resold.
