Datacentrix prevails with IBM partner awards


Johannesburg, 20 May 2009

IT solutions and services provider, Datacentrix, has won two of IBM's prestigious Business Partner Recognition Awards, reinforcing the company's commitment to its partnership with IBM, its performance and customer satisfaction levels.

Says IBM channel executive for Sub-Saharan Africa, Stelio Frasco: "To any business, win-back and new accounts are both key to success and growth.

Based on this, we were pleased to announce Datacentrix as the IBM Systems and Technology Group Top Win-back Solution Provider for the year.

"This means that as a partner, Datacentrix demonstrated the highest level of drive and commitment to bringing new customers to IBM, closing two significant win-back deals from a major competitor."

According to Craig van der Bank, IBM Enterprise business unit manager at Datacentrix, the company also triumphed as the top IBM Business Partner for WebSphere in general business. "Datacentrix has maintained its status as IBM Premier Partner for several years now, achieved by ensuring we maintain our high level of certifications with IBM, as well as meeting the required revenue targets. All of this enables us, as a first tier partner of IBM, to architect, deliver, implement, maintain and manage projects on both the high end System P -Unix platform and IBM enterprise storage sides. In addition, Datacentrix boasts a direct partnership with the company.

"IBM is obviously a key vendor for Datacentrix and we have dedicated ourselves to preserving our status at the highest level of partnership. The hard work put in over the past year in particular has been recognised by IBM and the two awards received highlight the fact that we are making a very a positive impact with IBM. It is more than evident that as partners, the two organisations are growing from strength to strength.

"Winning these awards has been a great motivational factor for the Datacentrix team and we look forward to another successful year ahead hand-in-hand with IBM," he adds.
