Zertificon Business Partners actively market and distribute Z1 products in their own name and for their own account. Due to the less specialized product portfolio and fewer focused sales personnel, business partners are strongly supported by Zertificon themselves or by specialized Z1 product Competence Centers with sales, presales and project implementation.

Zertificon Competence Centers have the Z1 product range as a strategic solution in the own IT Security focused product range. They have a high level of technical expertise. Presales, the sales process, piloting and project execution are substantially carried out by themselves. In order to make the most of the Competence Centers' technical skills and their regional proximity to the customer, Zertificon can pass on customer inquiries to suitable Zertificon Competence Centers.

Zertificon Service Provider offer Z1 Solutions as hosted services. Zertificon Service Provider operate Z1 Solutions at their own datacenters and provide Z1 functions as remote service to their end customers. Zertificon Service Provider define and guarantee their own Service Level Agreement(s) (SLA) and fees. A typical service use case of an Zertificon Service Provider is operating a high available and performant Z1 SecureMail Gateway Cluster where email traffic of multiple customers/mandators is routed through. Another, more special scenario is a Zertificon Service Provider operating its own Z1 CertServer Cluster comparable to Z1 Global TrustPoint (www.globaltrustpoint.com) where end customers connect their local Z1 SecureMail systems and other applications.
