Business Connexion has been awarded winner of the 2005 Nortel SA Gold Solutions Partner of the Year Awards at a celebratory event held in Johannesburg, where Nortel also acknowledged the outstanding business performance and significant revenue contribution of Business Connexion.
The Nortel Gold Solutions Partner Programme, currently in its third year, is the highest level of accreditation achievable for Nortel channel partners. The programme is designed to identify companies that have proven their commitment and expertise in delivering Nortel solutions.
"This award puts in place the basis for close working relationships between Nortel and its solution partners, it supports us in collectively creating solutions that deliver true competitive advantage, service differentiation and revenue-generation and it ensures that together we are even better able to match the business needs of our mutual customers," said Logan Pather, managing director of Nortel South Africa.
"For this reason, it is really important to reward channel excellence and Business Connexion has clearly demonstrated their strength."
"We are proud of our strategic partnership with Nortel that spans over 15 years," said Brian Tarr, managing executive of Business Connexion`s Networks Competency. "Our certifications, specialisations, superior technical and integration skills and continued focus on Nortel, have clearly differentiated us in this space."
Tarr added that the cornerstone of Business Connexion`s success is its people. "With consistent dedication to excellence in integration, information security, network management, wireless and telecommunications, Business Connexion remains one of the ICT suppliers of choice in sub-Saharan Africa. We are proud to be the winner for 2005 and we look forward to repeating this success in the future."
Accreditation as a Nortel Gold Solutions partner confirms a partner`s commitment to Nortel products through the development of its sales, pre-sales and post-sales capability. Rigorous criteria must be met for each stage of the certification process and once qualified, partners are then regarded as skilled in their specific solutions area. This provides additional assurance to the end-user customer that any solution will be installed and supported by qualified, specialist engineers and backed by Nortel.
"Nortel SA is committed to the development of our channel and supporting all of our partners to build successful and sustainable business relationships by creating market demand, driving mutual revenue growth and delivering customer satisfaction," concluded Pather.
