Customer Journey

We've developed a proven approach to onboarding media organizations:

Pre-study: 2-week assessment of customer needs and requirements through stakeholder interviews. Fixed cost approach (€4,000 per 2025 currency).

Proof of Concept: 3-month low-risk entry point that serves as the real start of implementation (10% of license cost).

Setup Phase: Up to 9 months of onboarding, training, and integration work (20% of license cost).

Roll-out Phase: Gradual deployment for customers with multiple newspaper titles (up to 6 months).

Ongoing Service: Customer check-ins from partners every 6 months (pre-scheduled video calls) at no additional cost. On-site visits when warranted are agreed case-by-case.

Support & Collaboration

Partners handle first-line support for their customers, while Aptoma provides second-line technical support with response times aligned to issue severity. Critical incidents are handled 24/7 with response within 30 minutes.

We maintain close collaboration through regular STAPL meetings (Status and Planning sessions) where we discuss projects, requirements, roadmap, and next steps. Partners receive regular newsletters and are invited to our annual Aptoma Days conference where we present future direction and strategy.

Partners also get access to our shared demo environment ("Juicy Demo") – a realistic, brand-neutral demonstration system covering Print Automation and DrPublish.

Your Market, Your Brand

Partners can deliver AMP services under their own brand name. While services run on Aptoma infrastructure and our logo appears in the applications and documentation, you lead the customer relationship and represent the solution in your market.

You bring valuable market knowledge and customer requirements to Aptoma, helping shape our product roadmap. We provide the technology platform, global support infrastructure, and continuous innovation.

Become a Partner

We're selective about partnerships and look for organizations that share our commitment to quality, customer success, and long-term collaboration. If you have strong relationships in the media industry and want to offer leading editorial workflow technology, we'd like to hear from you.

Partnerships are formalized through our SACS (Service Agreement for Customers and Suppliers) agreement, which defines terms, responsibilities, and commercial arrangements.
