Integr8 IT has added another coveted title to its growing list of achievements this year after clinching the prestigious Microsoft`s Gold Partner of the Year award.
The national network integration and infrastructure specialist faced high profile opposition in what is described as an ultra-competitive category, presented as part of Microsoft`s extensive line-up of awards at the annual Microsoft Partner Summit awards ceremony held recently at Sun City.
Joint Managing Directors Robert Sussman and Lance Fanaroff view the latest award as a major milestone for the company and a perfect means of celebrating its recent achievement of being named Microsoft`s Global Small Business Partner of the Year and Security Partner of the Year for Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) at Microsoft`s Global Partner Award ceremony held in Toronto, Canada.
"We are delighted to have received this recognition, it is really the cherry on the top of what has been a successful year for us and it motivates us to do even better," comments Sussman. "The local market is focused on ensuring a positive return on investment and look to partner with companies that can offer best of breed services with the credibility and the proven ability to deliver."
The local company has grown from a mere handful of managers, who began a network integration operation from humble premises three-and-half years ago, to a multimillion-rand national company that is outsourced to provide full connectivity, integration of software and hardware and network and infrastructure management services to local and international businesses.
"Integr8 IT has the infrastructure, resources and skills level to provide consulting and managed services to a wide range of operations, from small to medium right through to large-scale global enterprises," adds Fanaroff. "Our strategy has always been to focus on our strengths and core competencies and strive to be the best of the best within our industry. We can also add that Integr8IT was also nominated and received `Citations of Excellence` in five of the other categories."
"The Microsoft Gold Partner of the Year award is a truly prestigious award. Integr8 IT has consistently proven itself to be an outstanding business partner providing significant value and consistently outstanding service to our mutual customers. Microsoft is proud to be associated with Integr8 IT," concludes Mark Reynolds, Group manager, Partner Development and Marketing, Microsoft South Africa.
