Cognos (Nasdaq: COGN; TSX: CSN), the world leader in business intelligence and performance management solutions, announced the winners of its 2007 Global Partner Awards.
With close to 120 awards, Cognos recognised partners from across North America, Latin America, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and EMEA for excelling at innovation, influence and thought-leadership in performance management.
The winners were announced at the Partner Summit Awards ceremony held this week at the Global Partner Summit as part of Cognos Forum 2007.
"Cognos is the only true independent performance management player in the market, with global reach and leading solutions enabled by a broad ecosystem of partners," said Mel Zeledon, senior vice-president, global alliances, Cognos.
"Together, we provide the products, services and technology to help customers drive performance management, lower implementation risk and generate better profitability. The Global Partner Awards underscore our commitment to the long-term success of our global partner network across various industries, applications and geographic locations."
iCentric Consulting, a South African organisation which focuses on the continual alignment of BI and information strategy to the business strategy in order to support corporate performance management, walked away with the Cognos Services Partner of the Year for South Africa.
"We were absolutely thrilled to have received this award, especially in light of the global nature of the organisation and its partners. Our business and expertise has increased significantly over the last few years and we have felt the increasing need in South Africa for a solution that not only focuses on BI but on a more holistic approach in line with business strategy and organisational communication," commented Marianne Vosloo, MD of iCentric.
"This award reaffirms our commitment to our partners and most importantly our clients. We are confident in the Cognos solution and in our ability to deliver it, in a way that is most appropriate to the client requirements and environment."
