As part of its drive to recognise the efforts that companies make to take IT solutions to government and the private sector, Microsoft has named more than 40 partners as potential winners ahead of its annual awards gala dinner, in Durban, in early August.
The awards recognise Microsoft partners that delivered exemplary solutions for their customers during the past year across a range of categories. The finalists listed below were chosen from hundreds of entries submitted by partners across the country.
The awards coincide with Microsoft's annual Partner Summit event, which runs from 6-8 August. At the event, the software maker lays out its technology and business roadmap for the coming year to its partners, and highlights areas of innovation that will benefit end-users.
Mark Reynolds, head of the small business and partner division at Microsoft South Africa, said the high standards of entries received for the awards showed that the company's partners were delivering “unmatched innovation and value” to customers. In fact, four South African partners have been recognised as category winners in Microsoft's worldwide partner awards this year, he said.
“The bottom line is that partners have always been at the core of Microsoft's business model, and that will never change. At Partner Summit, we'll be announcing new business models and upcoming offerings that we believe will drive opportunity and profitability for our partners, while delivering incredible value and choice for customers,” said Reynolds.
