Integration certification is an opportunity for you to test your integration with our experts and to prepare for a successful market launch. We're committed to collaborating with you as a valued partner. We share your goal of certifying your integration and having it reach its full potential.
Certification is a process through which your integration version is thoroughly tested against a specific set of our products. During this process, we provide detailed feedback to help you optimize your integration. If the integration meets our standards, you receive a certification attestation. This attestation can help promote your solution and gives it a competitive advantage against solutions that aren’t certified.
We recommend that you prepare for the certification at the beginning of your integration development to ensure a quick and efficient turnaround on this process.
The DAP team is happy to share the criteria with you at any moment.

Benefits of certification
Our customers have high expectations and want to make sure that API & SDK integrations meet Genetec™ standards. By demonstrating that you have successfully completed our integration certification, they know that the job will be properly executed.
Our certification team focuses on development tools and best practices. With their expert knowledge, they can spot areas in your solution that need improvement. You’ll receive a detailed report with clear recommendations for what to adjust.
We also encourage partners who have already passed their integration certification to pursue recertification when new versions of their solutions are released. Keeping your solution certified and up to date with the latest advancements in technology ensures its optimal performance.
