Three steps, no change to how you buy.
You buy the way you always have
Same suppliers, same or better pricing, guided by a Certified Trusted Advisor who works in your interest.
The supplier pays its standard cost of sale
Technology suppliers already budget for it on nearly every contract. It is paid whether or not your community benefits.
The program turns it into a royalty
A defined share is paid to your company in dollars, and your Association receives its own royalty at the same time.
Five real-world purchases, and what each one funds.
Each example shows what the member paid and the royalty it pays back to them every year, with pricing exactly as negotiated. Every deal also strengthens the member's Association community. Royalties are paid under the standard Association program; your technology review calculates yours.

Plus support for their Association communities, all funded by purchases that were happening anyway.

If your company buys any of these as a service, that spend can pay a royalty back to your company.

The circuits themselves: dedicated internet access, broadband, private lines, wavelength services, and fixed wireless that connect offices, data centers, and clouds.
2. Network Edge / SD-WAN
Managed networking on top of the circuits: SD-WAN overlays, managed routers and edge devices, and the orchestration that keeps branch sites performing.
3. Cloud / IaaS / Colo
Infrastructure: public cloud compute and storage, private and hosted cloud, and colocation space, power, and interconnection.
4. Security / SASE
