Investment & Implementation for Users¶
To use the Partner Stage you need to get access to the Partner Stage Hub. For the purpose of testing, you will receive a new tenant. Since this is a new Hub environment, you need to create and setup a new IEM-instance. So your Live and Partner Stage are not connected to each other at any point in time.
How do I get access to the system?¶
If you identify in the role of official Device Builder, App Provider or Solution Partner, please get in touch with your Ecosystem Orchestrator. The colleagues will respond to your request and provide you with respective information.
