EMC Corporation, the world leader in information infrastructure solutions, today announced it has been recognised by CMP Technology's VARBusiness magazine as one of North America's top information technology (IT) vendors.
Editors specifically praised the Velocity2 Partner Programme that EMC offers to solution providers that sell EMC products and services to end-users.
EMC was certified as a 5-Star Partner, acknowledging the strength of the Velocity2 Partner Programme and the commitment EMC has made to its channel partners.
Of the more than 250 vendor-programme entries reviewed for the past year, only 60 companies received the coveted 5-star rating in the magazine's 13th annual Partner Programmes Guide survey. The guide appears in the 19 March 2007 issue of VARBusiness.
"Nowadays, the structure of vendor channel programmes is too often reduced to a checklist of must-have elements. The VARBusiness 5-Star Partner Programme honour recognises those select vendors, like EMC, who have the programmatic structure to best serve their solution providers in their specific markets segments and technologies. These programmes reflect vendors who have built channel programmes that have the capacity to execute on key elements for channel success," says VARBusiness Editor Lawrence M Walsh.
Rassie Jacobs, Commercial Manager EMC South Africa, said: "We are honoured to receive the 5-Star award as recognition of our efforts and our commitment to EMC's partner community. The EMC Velocity2 Programme strives to provide the richest set of financial incentives, access to the broadest portfolio of solutions, and comprehensive resources to help our partners advance their businesses."
