Local IT infrastructure distributor, Axiz, is the new home for industry stalwart Aldean Prior. Known best for her role in Computer Faire, better known today as Futurex, Prior is ecstatic to join Axiz as its marketing manager.
"Over the years I have watched Axiz grow from a small memory distributor to one of our country`s most successful organisations. It has the largest distribution footprint in southern Africa as well as the broadest product offering. The company has a phenomenal reputation in the industry and I am truly inspired by its employee-owned status," says Prior. She says Axiz is 100% employee owned, which means all employees are owners and all owners are employees.
"Axiz believes in the principle of employee ownership and sees ownership as a right and not a privilege. The right to ownership includes the right to meaningful participation; the right to information; the right to representation; the right to the fruits of ownership; and all the related responsibilities that accompany these rights," outlines Prior.
She is also motivated by Axiz`s values and work ethic: "Personally, I aspire to the same and I look forward to working with such a dedicated team who is so determined to succeed."
Since its inception in 1989, Axiz has grown significantly year on year. With over 500 staff members, Axiz is without doubt one of South Africa`s local success stories and a leading IT distributor in South Africa.
"What makes Axiz such a success is that it is 100% channel focused. The company has never swayed from its objectives to partner with resellers and ensure their success. This is evident by the 5 000-plus reseller partners that do business with Axiz on an annual basis."
Prior says she is also impressed with Axiz CSI initiatives. The company is truly focused on establishing social infrastructure and contributing to the upliftment of communities through the transfer of technology, skills and education: "The ultimate aim of the various Axiz initiatives is to create sustainability within the local community and it is working well."
Prior spent five years organising Futurex, southern Africa`s largest IT exhibition. She was also a director of Exhibitions for Africa. Before that, she held the position of marketing manager for SDD and Siltek.
"It is such a privilege to work with a brand such as Axiz. I look forward to working with the company and to continue uniting technology with intelligence," concludes Prior.
