The annual HPE Partner Awards Celebration 2017 recognised the achievements of its partners at an event in Johannesburg.

Axiz was announced HPE's distributor of the year and Datacentrix as partner of the year.

Gold Partner of the year went to Dimension Data while Datacentrix took the Platinum partner of the year award.

The criterion was based on year-on-year growth, revenue and net new business.

Acting MD Kena Setshogoe, unable to attend due to a meeting in Dubai, stated via a video presentation that its partners are an essential part of the success of HPE's business.

"We cannot grow our business without the valued input from our partners and we will continue investing in them as HPE's strategy going forward cannot be executed without these partnerships."

Prior to presenting the awards, country manager: channel and territory sales, Leon Erasmus, said: "Over the past few months we have focused on optimising our structures for agility, and with the core elements of our strategy and partner systems in place, are now ready to help our partners move faster to market and find new ways of adding value to customers."

Setshogoe added: "Our strategy going forward is based on the view that the world of IT is going hybrid with industrial IOT as the next business revolution."

Ammar Lababidy, MEMA channel and territory director for HPE, agreed, stating: "We need to alter the game to become relevant, which is happening through digitalisation and IOT, which is where HPE fits in with supporting businesses in evolving and transforming technology."
