National network integration and infrastructure management specialist Integr8 IT has been nominated as a finalist in four categories within the annual Microsoft Partner Awards, to be held during the two-day Microsoft Partner Summit 2005 at Sun City in mid-August.
Integr8 IT has secured a finalist position within Advanced Infrastructure Solutions, Customer Experience, Networking Infrastructure Solutions and Security Solutions categories, making it the only privately owned company with this many nominations, significantly raising its profile and advertising its competency across several core business disciplines.
"We are very pleased to feature as prominently as we have. We have a long- standing Gold certification partnership with Microsoft that has been very successful for both companies. Our focus has always been on developing core strengths and harnessing skills in order to maintain the highest levels of service," explains Robert Sussman, joint MD at Integr8 IT.
"To achieve recognition in critical areas of service provision and solution integration, incorporating advanced infrastructure and security solutions, is a major boost for us, confirms our strengths and adds to our credibility in these important focus areas of business," he adds.
Network security and related solutions has been incorporated extensively into Integr8 IT`s portfolio of managed services. Sussman says security and total cost of ownership remain key priorities for businesses looking to maximise off their infrastructure.
"The more complex network infrastructures become, the higher the demand for Web-based applications and solutions to help manage data and utilising this to the best value-add and security for business. Enterprises continue to seek out infrastructure and technologies equal to the task and technology partners with the skills and experience to handle these requirements," he adds.
The recognition means that Integr8 IT is in a far better position to reinforce and broaden its current level of service and support related to Microsoft product/technology installations.
