DIMENSION DATA AND OAKTON ANNOUNCE STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP

Announcement posted by Sphere Public Relations 18 Jun 2013

Partnership highlights complementary strategic direction and enhances end-to-end solutions for clients
Dimension Data, an ICT solutions and services provider, today announced it has entered into a strategic partnership with technology and business consulting company, Oakton [ASX:OKN] to provide  ICT infrastructure integration, cloud and traditional outsourcing services bundled with Oakton solutions.

Together, the companies will develop go-to-market propositions that utilise the capabilities of both organisations to provide an integrated solution for clients. Dimension Data and Oakton will work closely together to build a repeatable catalogue of services that can be provided through the partnership and will enable both companies to respond quickly and accurately to new opportunities.

“This is an important strategic alliance that will provide considerable benefit to both Dimension Data’s and Oakton’s large enterprise and public sector clients,” said Rodd Cunico, CEO for Dimension Data Australia. “Our value proposition and footprint is complementary and collectively, we can address our client’s requirements and execute on their business drivers completely.”

“Dimension Data is a great fit for Oakton in helping to drive our service integration strategy, which is all about providing integrated business solutions that straddle traditional on-premise and cloud deployment models,” said Neil Wilson, CEO for Oakton. “By using Dimension Data’s public cloud, private cloud and hosting models we are now able to offer our clients a range of alternatives to the on-premise model. This allows us to integrate the right services to deliver the best solution to align with a range of cost, risk and commercial considerations. This is a natural progression for Oakton, building on our track record in data management and application integration solutions and extending this beyond the corporate firewall.

“For Oakton it expands our value proposition in that we can now provide a more complete solution from strategy through to implementation and ongoing managed services, right across the solution stack. We are already providing these services to a number of existing clients and the Dimension Data partnership will help to accelerate growth in this area,” added Mr Wilson.
