Expert Alliance Membership Structure and Benefits

The ASi UK Expert Alliance brings together vendors and users having a common interest in the AS-Interface networking protocol. Members of the Alliance work together to promote the technology, grow the market, support end users with advice and guidance on a wide range of issues, and generate new sales leads.

Alliance Members jointly fund the organisation for which they receive a range of benefits according to the level of membership they choose to support. The table below gives further details.

How the Alliance operates

A Steering Committee discusses strategic issues and decides policy on (roughly) a quarterly basis. Marketing efforts range from attending shows, delivering seminars and workshops and generating press coverage. Currently this web site is a primary focus and time and effort is being put into raising its profile and ensuring that it can be found easily by UK customers. If you join as a Vendor member or as an Alliance Expert you can serve on the Steering Committee and help determine the future direction of the Alliance in UK.
