(subject matter experts) at each critical milestone in the development process.

thus increasing potential of sales through the SP channel.
- Odin Automation quality stamp will increase confidence in the SP channel that your package is safe to deploy
and will deliver a great experience to the SP and their customers.
- When using a System Integrator for packaging, the certification process is a great way to ensure the development
was done in the best way possible.
- System Integrators:

at each critical milestone in the development process.

- Service Providers:
- For packages from external ISVs, the certification is the best way to ensure that packages are safe to install and use,

at crucial points in the development to avoid expensive setbacks and mistakes.
