DIMENSION DATA SCOOPS FOUR AWARDS AT EMC GLOBAL PARTNER SUMMIT
Sydney, Australia, 22 May 2013 – Dimension Data, the USD5.8 billion ICT solutions and services provider said today that it has scooped four awards at EMC’s annual Global Partner Summit, held at EMC World in Las Vegas earlier this month. The company took Best Partner of the Year 2013 in EMEA North and South Africa, respectively. EMC’S Best Partner Pre-Sales Capability award went to Dimension data in Australia, while the APJ Services Partner of the Year Award went to Dimension Data in Asia.
EMC’s Partner of the Year awards recognise high-achieving EMC business resellers who exceeded growth expectations and demonstrated a commitment to excellence through the innovation and thought leadership that supported its business goals.
Philippe Fosse, Vice President, EMEA Channels at EMC Corporation said, “Award winners were selected based on their relationship and commitment to EMC, as well as their ability to extend EMC’s reach into the marketplace and add value to its information infrastructure solution offerings. Dimension Data’s four awards illustrate the Group’s deep capabilities that span solutions integration, technology, and service delivery across four regions. The channel has never been as vital as it is now, and we truly recognise the contribution our resellers make to EMC’s business.”
Steve Joubert, Dimension Data’s Group Executive, Solutions said, “Apart from being a great endorsement of our data centre and cloud value propositions and capabilities, these awards underscore Dimension Data’s commitment to our relationship with both EMC and our clients across the globe. EMC is a leader in enabling businesses and service providers to transform their operations and deliver IT as a service. It made sense for us to be a reseller for a vendor that has such a broad portfolio of technologies that help our clients.”
Dimension Data has been an EMC global partner for five years. In addition, the company is a global partner of Virtual Computing Environment (VCE).
