Bytes Technology Networks (BTN), a division of the JSE-listed Bytes Technology Group Limited (a member of the Altron group), has once again earned the title of Reseller of the Year in South Africa from Cisco Systems. This endorsement, announced at the Cisco Partner Summit 2003, comes on the back of Bytes Technology Networks` re-certification as a Cisco Silver Partner.
George Atrash, Manager, channel at Cisco Systems sub-Saharan Africa, says: "Bytes Technology Networks has demonstrated true commitment to Cisco. During our 2002 financial year it embraced Cisco`s new technologies by gaining channel specialisation in IP telephony, wireless and security. In addition, Bytes Technology Networks increased its Cisco-based revenue during the past financial year and we hope to see this growth in the upcoming financial year."
Johan Mouton, technology solutions business unit manager at BTN, says: "Our focus on consultancy and knowledge-based customer relationships versus merely dropping boxes has paid off. We will continue with this strategy into this financial year and we hope to repeat the successes of 2002."
