Successful businesses often form strategic partnerships. There may be short or long-term needs that business leaders know have to be addressed. Perhaps they lack the resources necessary to take the next step. Hiring more people, expanding the talent pool, or creating a new division might not be the best answer. Widening a company’s focus may also flatten it. Strategic partnerships can fill that gap and solve many problems without shifting a company’s direction.
Additionally, partners deeply invested in a business’s success can offer uniquely informed feedback that may not be forthcoming from customers or even their staff. IDE Interactive, a leader in creating unique and highly focused web experiences, has also been developing targeted relationship experiences with its strategic partners. For some clients, it’s a quick collaboration to create a particular solution to a specific problem. For others, it’s an extended development team for custom projects, mobile apps, web applications, or project management.
Whether a partnership lasts five weeks or five years, IDE Interactive continually offers leading-edge customer service, technical expertise, and creative focus on the needs of their partners. They provide relationship experiences based on their clients' expressed needs and precisely tailored to help them achieve their goals. They can work as their client's in-house development team, helping them to explore available technologies that best meet their needs. Their team provides technical proficiency and energic enthusiasm as they work with client-partners to develop custom projects like mobile apps, web applications, and software. They offer project management and assist their strategic partners by creating unique user experiences and transforming design ideas into live websites. They complement client resources with exceptional expertise and leading-edge technology and provide strategies, feedback, and advice on technological integration.
DoubleTake Designs, located in Chicago, Illinois, is focused on designing user experiences.

In addition to transforming their ideas into a live website, they provided advice and guidance on available technologies and their limitations to aid them in finding the best path for bringing their ideas to their client-facing material, allowing them to reach more clients in more meaningful ways. IDE Interactive and DoubleTake Design have continued their partnership as they assist in maintaining their websites.

Digital Lounge Solutions in Sydney, Australia, provides digital solutions for not-for-profit agencies in their area.

Sometimes, a business relationship becomes a long-term partnership as companies complement one another's resources. Rather than hiring more staff members or engaging in special training for a particular project, it is often simpler to find a company that already has the resources needed and form an alliance. Their talent, placement, and abilities can complement and enhance a company's staff, filling specific needs when necessary, offering advice in specialized areas, or bolstering the numbers when a large project looms. IDE Interactive frequently partners with their clients in this way, providing necessary skills, enhancing the creativity and productivity of their client's staff, providing continuing growth and maintenance services, and strengthening their clients' businesses with their resources. IDE Interactive is uniquely positioned to provide advice on current trends and offer solutions to emergent challenges.
The Alliance Labs, a digital marketing agency in Chicago, works with marketing and PR agencies. They have a small, nimble development team working on web projects for their clients. As their strategic partner, IDE Interactive functions as part of that team taking on more custom projects like mobile apps, web applications, and software. They provide development work, mentoring, and training for this client-partner and others.
"I've worked with Tony and his team for over 5 years, and they are the most reliable, professional, trustworthy team of web-pros with whom I have ever had the pleasure of working. If you have a working brain cell in your head, you'll find a way to work with them. If you don't, then you have bigger problems that a website probably can't help."
The Alliance Lab President, Jon Schickedanz
Relying on voluntary feedback from clients and employees to be direct and completely honest can be tricky. Clients are often reluctant to criticize, and employees may feel uncomfortable about speaking out to their employers. So, how can a business discover the places that need improvement? Strategic partnerships allow businesses to find solutions and collaboratively share resources and skill sets. They can also function as the voice of direct, unvarnished feedback accompanied by suggestions and solutions to make change meaningful and relatively painless. This kind of frank dialogue nurtures discussions that are productive and helpful in ways not necessarily available to anyone else.
