Business Connexion launched Africa's first EMC Velocity Signature Solution Centre on 15 May 2008. The Solution Centre is located at Business Connexion's Midrand offices.
As clients demand best-of-breed solutions that are integrated and expertly supported, Business Connexion and EMC have consistently demonstrated information infrastructure solutions that meet these needs.
The launch of the EMC Velocity Signature Solution Centre within Business Connexion is an additional valuable tool which will allow Business Connexion to demonstrate exactly how the solution is going to work in clients' environments.
According to George Loate, managing executive: Persetel Q Vector at Business Connexion: "We are giving our clients real choice and the best of both worlds - the chance to see how the solution would work, without them having to commit any money at all. They can visit the solution centre and see a live demonstration of a technical environment they are considering to implement, giving them the peace-of-mind that the solution will work when deployed at their organisation."
This is a way for Business Connexion to showcase client-oriented, application-critical solutions that help clients handle tomorrow's business information challenges. Initially, the centre will showcase solutions that streamline information management in a Microsoft Exchange environment.
The launch of the Solution Centre ensures Business Connexion's years of experience and successful strategic partnership with EMC and Microsoft is taken to a new level. The application scenarios for various Microsoft Exchange-based environments mean that Business Connexion clients will discover the advantages of dynamic IT infrastructures. The company also offers migration plans to these dynamic IT solutions which Business Connexion has developed together with EMC and Microsoft. After all, the centre will not only showcase solutions, but also run scenarios that replicate clients' environments.
The solution centre will also be showcased to clients from other EMC partners that is working with Business Connexion in bringing world-class storage offerings to the South Africa and African market. Business Connexion's EMC Velocity Signature Solution Centre is equipped with a state-of-the-art briefing room and is designed to host a series of activities that will complement the Solution Centre's value proposition, namely:
* Customer briefings, seminars, and workshops
* Live hardware and software demonstrations
* Training and EMC Proven Professional Accreditation
* Execution of complex proofs of concept
* Migration planning
* Benchmark and performance testing
Business Connexion is honoured to be the first EMC partner in Africa to establish a Solution Centre that represents a framework of technology that demonstrates EMC Proven Solutions backed by implementation methodologies which reduce client risk and ensure faster deployment.
