Johannesburg-based ICT service management and solutions specialist NSS has won the EMC Smarts Reseller of the Year 2005 award for EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa).
The award, presented at an EMC Smarts partner conference in Brussels, Belgium, was based on the size and quality of projects carried out by EMC Smarts business partners as well as their channel partner relationships.
Dason Bodilly, Vice-President of EMC Smarts` EMEA operations, said: "Our partnership with NSS goes back to early 2002. In 2004/5, NSS won both Telkom and Vodacom as new EMC Smarts customers and provided excellent integration work. A key reason why NSS won our Reseller of the Year award in 2005 is that as a VAR, they share our vision of enabling organisations to meet the challenges posed by the ever-increasing business dependence on ICT infrastructure. We look forward to continuing our work together in such areas as ITIL and service management."
Delighted NSS CEO Lynda Odendaal commented: "Winning this award is not so much a triumph for NSS - over some pretty stiff international competition - but rather a win for our customers.
"We have always said at NSS that our customers` business is our passion and in EMC Smarts we have a supplier who shares that credo. An award of this nature is only as good as our follow-through though, and the real proof will be successful ongoing service to our customers in the enterprise, banking and government sectors."
