Business Connexion recognised yet again at Annual EMC Partner Summit

Johannesburg, 25 Mar 2011

Business Connexion was named Top Signature Solution Centre Partner 2010 EMEA South Emerging for the second time, at EMC Velocity Partner Council 2011, in Barcelona.

Business Connexion has, now for two years in a row, won this award because of its consistent and outstanding performance in the ICT business arena. This recognition was made official at the EMC's annual EMEA Partner Awards ceremony, recently held in Barcelona.

Speaking at the event, Nicolas Leblanc, EMEA Vice-President Channels and Mid-market at EMC, said: “These awards celebrate the performance of our Velocity Partners across EMEA. These are outstanding channel partners who can act as an extension of EMC, helping customers accelerate their journey to the cloud. We truly value each relationship that we have and recognise the contribution they make to EMC's business.”

Leblanc continued “By increasing our channel focus and engagement, EMC is fully committed to help our Channel Partners differentiate themselves, grow revenue and increase profitability by addressing the Cloud opportunity together.”

Tim Schumann, Technology Division's Chief Executive at Business Connexion, commented that being recognised for the second time shows that our strategic business positioning, connective intelligence and our longstanding partnership with EMC is paying off.

“The solution centre based at our Midrand offices was set up with the aim of showcasing our capability to provide integrated EMC proven solutions to the market. This award validates our ability to meet with clients' needs. We are honoured to be recognised, for two consecutive years.”

Business Connexion and EMC Velocity Signature Solution Centre allows for clients to see, test, evaluate as well as certify storage solutions. This assists in making informed buying decisions. “This centre brings clients an opportunity to test and evaluate before committing to an investment. We understand the game-changing benefits of private cloud and we can make our clients understand it too,” added Schumann.

Business Connexion has been working with EMC for over 12 years in various markets across EMEA. In 2008, Business Connexion launched Africa's first EMC Velocity Signature Solution Centre in Midrand, after demonstrating continuous ability to deliver solutions based on the EMC brand while providing sustainable value to the South African business community.
