# Enhance Your Integration

This guide is for partners who are already certified and live on SiteMinder and want to add new functionality to their existing integration. If you're starting a new integration from scratch, see [Integration Process](/get-started/partner-lifecycle/integration-process.md).

{% hint style="success" %}
**Enhancement timelines** vary based on the complexity of the new functionality being added. Simple feature additions may take 2-3 weeks, while more complex enhancements requiring a pilot can take 4-6 weeks. Review the relevant documentation for the new features early to streamline the process.
