Strength in Alliance


Sliq understands that strategic alliances and relationships play a key role in building products and taking them to the market place. We refer to these relationships as strategic alliance partnerships. Although legal partnerships are not actually created in most cases, we do in some respect treat these partners as extended family and share technology, customers and other key business essentials with these partners. Working closely with our strategic alliance partners, Sliq leverages the business and technical prowess available within our collective alliance to offer a wide range of complementary products and services to our customers.  Below is a sampling of our key strategic alliance partners.
