Datacentrix secures two Citrix partner awards

Pretoria, 14 Jul 2009

IT services and solutions provider, Datacentrix, was honoured with two awards at the recent Citrix Partner Accelerator event.

The company won the "Largest Citrix Multiple Product Deal 2008" award for the biggest deal in terms of revenue, incorporating the most Citrix products, as well as the "Highest Citrix New Product Revenue 2008" award for bringing in the highest income from new product sales, excluding renewals.

According to Sarah Mondon, regional marketing manager at Citrix, the awards were based on an assessment of how partners performed across five key areas: sales; customer support; marketing; customer satisfaction; and a commitment to working closely with Citrix.

“Datacentrix was measured against all other Citrix partners across South Africa and was selected for consistently supporting a large base of customers and continuing to grow its Citrix practice," she explains. “We congratulate Datacentrix on its achievements and look forward to another successful year.”

Says Trifon Katakuzinos, Software Services Pre-Sales Consultant at Datacentrix: “Datacentrix won the largest deal award for its involvement in the Road Accident Fund (RAF) project, a major implementations of Citrix's XenServer product in South Africa. "The RAF also makes use of Citrix XenApp, Citrix Access Gateways and Citrix Branch Repeaters, providing the organisation with end-to-end virtualisation as well as optimised and secure remote access.

“As a strategic partner, Citrix has proven to be an excellent vendor to deal with, maintaining a high level of involvement with clients and being very partner focused. Datacentrix has been a Citrix partner for the last 10 years and is a current Citrix Gold Solution Advisor.”
