As a provider of high performing and secure ICT solutions, Datacentrix received a flood of acknowledgments at the recent Riverbed South Africa Awards for 2014, accepting three top honours from the leaders in application performance infrastructure.
No stranger to the awards platform, Datacentrix dominated these awards with Sales Person of the Year, Technical Partner of the Year and Partner of the Year.
The top sales person award was presented to Christopher Martins, sales specialist at Datacentrix, whom Riverbed recognised for his professionalism, driving Riverbed opportunities from inception to end with both passion for and knowledge of the customers' business, in addition to providing value.
Marc van der Poll, technical specialist for Networks at Datacentrix, accepted the mark of distinction of being Riverbed South Africa's foremost technical partner. The judges deemed Datacentrix's technical expertise, with dedicated resources and providing support with customer satisfaction in mind, as the most deserving of this award.
In particular, the judges highlighted Datacentrix's accolade of being the first African company to receive two Riverbed Authorized Support Partner (RASP) programme accreditations, which allows the company to build closer relationships with clients, and provide high-value services and support, which Datacentrix can leverage to get the full benefit of the Riverbed Application Performance Platform.
Business unit manager for Enterprise at Datacentrix, Tony de Sousa, showed his appreciation to Van der Poll and his team, and recognised their hard work, which extended late into the night and over weekends, making this award a possibility.
De Sousa went on to accept the coveted Partner of the Year award, which was handed to Datacentrix for exceeding expectations and closing the highest Riverbed revenue between January and December 2014. "The awards for our work in 2014 are a great achievement for Datacentrix and a big congratulations to all involved. 2015 has already started on a successful note with Riverbed and we look forward to repeating and surpassing our feats of last year," he added.
Riverbed's partners are part of the Riverbed Performance Partner Network, a diverse ecosystem of 3 000 partners worldwide. Riverbed works closely with these industry-leading technology resellers, distributors, service providers and integrators to deliver innovative solutions that solve complex business problems, open new markets and create new revenue opportunities.
