Cape-based Synergy Computing was named South African Reseller Partner of the Year at the recent annual conference of business intelligence software vendor Cognos held in Florida, USA.
According to Christo Bredenkamp, Synergy Computing managing director, the award is an achievement which affirms the company's strategy of focusing on bringing the advantages of business intelligence solutions based on Cognos technology to South African corporates.
"This is clear evidence that Synergy Computing is seen as a leader in the field of providing effective business intelligence solutions in the local market. We have enjoyed a relationship in excess of 20 years with Cognos, one which has had mutual benefits through the years."
Mel Zeledon, senior vice-president, global alliances, Cognos, notes the relevance of partners to the vendor's business model.

Together, we provide the products, services and technology to help customers drive performance management, lower implementation risk and generate better profitability."
He adds that the Cognos Global Partner Awards underscore its commitment to the long-term success of the global partner network across various industries, applications and geographic locations.

Continuing, Bredenkamp says Synergy Computing will maintain its focus on the Cognos product suite.
