NetXactics, the southern African distributor for Sophos Anti-Virus, today announced that Sophos, a world leader in anti-virus solutions for businesses, was named as the Best Enterprise Vendor and the Best Vendor Presentation at EnterpriseVision held recently in Pasadena, California. Over 65 companies attended the two-day summit, which featured innovative technologies and advancing IT alliances.
"EnterpriseVision attendees are senior executives who strongly influence their enterprise customers` buying decision," said Sally Hewett, event director for EnterpriseVision. "As a result, recognition through a Best of EnterpriseVision award signifies a level of excellence for technology vendors in this competitive market."
A pre-qualified audience of approximately 45 IT service providers selects the award-winners for the four categories. EnterpriseVision is focused on developing alliances and partnerships between IT consultants, systems integrators, total solution providers, e-business external service providers and technology vendors.
"Sophos has always been focused on fostering a strong relationship with the channel community, and we`re determined to provide them with the tools - the best products, support and synergy - they need to succeed," said Brett Myroff, CEO of NetXactics.
"For Sophos to be recognised by the industry and selected by their peers as the best in not just one, but two, categories is an incredible honour and a validation of Sophos`s strategy."
