At a recent EMC EMEA South Partner Conference, in Cape Town, Business Connexion won the “Best Unified Storage Deployment” partner award.
This partner award was adjudged across a total of 67 countries, including the Mediterranean, Middle East and Africa, by EMC EMEA South.
“The award recognises Business Connexion's ability to articulate many of EMC's products into a total solution for our clients,” says Tim Schumann, Chief Executive of the Technology Group at Business Connexion.
“These solutions are based on EMC's Unified Storage products, which provide wide-ranging advantages in cost savings, both capital and operational productivity and the flexibility to scale quickly to meet changing business needs.
“Business Connexion is currently the EMC Signature Solution Centre partner in Africa, with the longest track record and the highest skills level.”
This ensures Business Connexion's clients get long-term engagements to support the transition from physical to virtualised, cloud computing infrastructures.
“We have been an EMC Integrator Partner for 10 years,” says Schumann. “This award confirms our ability to deliver integrated solutions, as opposed to point-product sales.”
Companies recognise the need for technology solutions that are perfectly aligned with business processes, as opposed to the “technology for technology's sake” offerings that were seen in the past.
Along with that trend, there are the compelling advantages of virtualisation and moving to cloud computing. The Business Connexion Solution Centre is being used as a tool to demonstrate cloud-enabling solutions from VMware and EMC.
Apart from obvious savings, this provides a secure and reliable way to deal with the challenges of rapidly changing business needs. It gives clients the ability to scale up or down with real agility.
“Business Connexion is a local and international leader in systems integration focused on helping clients achieve their business goals through intelligent use of technology,” says Schumann. “The EMC award is a further recognition of our abilities to deploy and support the latest and best solutions for our clients.”
