Aptronics, a local fully integrated corporate IT solutions and service provider, has scooped Compaq`s Diamond Partner of the Year award for the second year in a row. In addition, the company`s managing director, Anil `Appie` Pema, was recognised as one of Compaq`s `exceptional executives`, and a `Channel Champion` leader in the industry.
These recognitions follow hot-on-the-heels of Aptronics receiving the Most Knowledgeable Partner and the Best Managed Account awards by Tarsus.
The awards were made at Compaq`s recent `Excellence in Partnerships` ceremony which, as the theme suggests, acknowledges those industry partners who offer exceptional service and the highest levels of commitment, not only to Compaq but to their clients.
Says Pema: "We were acknowledged in this way because we were able to grow our Compaq business year-on-year. Being recognised for excellence by Compaq is another milestone reached on our journey to achieve outstanding partnerships; and we will continue to show our commitment and service excellence to Compaq as a valued business partner in the coming year."
Gary De Menezes, Channel and Customer Relationship Management Director at Compaq, comments: "As is so often the case in this volatile industry, agility is a crucial element of any successful company today. Aptronics has been able to reinvent themselves consistently. Their commitment to key focus areas, combined with their drive for success, has yielded high achievements for the reseller.
"Aptronics were the first Diamond partner to achieve Compaq storage accreditation and soon took the storage market by storm. When they turned their attention to the services side, they achieved 100% attach rate for notebook CarePaqs, and then focused on some large maintenance contracts," he says.
"Aptronics achieved outstanding service levels, and the Diamond Partner of the Year award is in recognition of this passion for, and commitment to, Compaq."
Pema was recognised as one of four exceptional executives who have continued to lead outstanding companies and teams very successfully.
Aptronics is one of SA`s few truly empowered corporate IT service providers. The business is committed to delivering integrated, innovative IT solutions that respond to the challenge of today`s evolving and dynamic market, and which increase our customers` competitive-edge through the addition of operational value.
