Integrators usually sell their products internationally through a network of independent distributors and/or subsidiaries. - Integrators provide Mountains® with their instruments as dedicated analysis packages under their own brand name or under the Mountains® brand names. - The level of integration of Mountains® into their own solutions varies (see below). - Application-oriented algorithms or analyses can be provided by the integrator as plugins or SmartFlows (ex. Minidocs), while preserving their own IP.
