What role does an Influence Partner play in the Daon ecosystem?
As an Influence Partner, you guide clients toward appropriate identity and fraud solutions through your consulting or advisory practice. You position Daon’s technology, assist in solution design, and influence procurement direction, while Daon manages sales and contracts. This allows you to focus on implementation, consulting, and transformation services where you deliver the most value.

How do Influence Partners monetize their involvement?
Influence Partners generate revenue through consulting, advisory, and implementation services charged directly to customers. Daon provides the technology platform while you deliver the services and transformation expertise.
Depending on your business model, Daon may also offer referral incentives, success fees, or shared professional services revenue tied to influenced deals.
-
Do Influence Partners need to be technical?
Technical expertise helps but isn’t required. Many successful Influence Partners excel in business transformation, compliance strategy, security architecture, or vertical domain knowledge. Daon provides technical briefings, enablement training, architecture documentation, and integration guides to support your advisory practice.
-
What deployment options does Daon offer for reseller partners, and what are the integration/interoperability considerations?
Daon supports SaaS, private cloud, on-premises, and hybrid deployments that embed directly into applications, integrate via API, or operate as co-branded services. Our modular architecture only activates the components your customers need (identity verifciation, liveness detection, face biometrics, voice authentication) and integrates with existing tech stacks through standard protocols, with the ability to scale services and capacity as each business grows.
-
What is the process for engaging in a joint opportunity?
You introduce the opportunity and position Daon within the client organization. Daon’s sales team handles customer engagement and contracting, while you collaborate on solution architecture, presentations, due diligence, and implementation planning.
-
Can an Influence Partner evolve into a Revenue Partner?
Yes. Many Influence Partners transition to Revenue Partner models as engagement deepens or when clients want them to serve as prime contractor for both technology and services. For example, a systems integrator might shift from advising on Daon implementations to reselling and embedding our technology directly. Daon supports tier upgrades, hybrid models, and flexible transition pathways based on your business evolution.
-
What support and enablement does Daon make available to Influence Partners?
Daon provides enablement resources to help you position identity and fraud solutions within your advisory practice: product training and technical briefings, marketing assets (whitepapers, case studies, use-case collateral), proof-of-concept support, and joint event participation. Strategic partners also gain early access to the product roadmap, allowing them to align client recommendations with future capabilities.
