"These awards stand as testament to our partners' skills and knowledge of the ICT marketplace and their clients' requirements," says Jansen van Rensburg.
The IS Channel Partner Awards will be an annual event as IS recognises not only its partners' contribution to the IS business, but also the value they bring to their clients, says Jansen van Rensburg. "IS has revamped its channel partner programme, and these awards are pivotal. Through this programme, IS will drive business growth and boost market penetration in key verticals, especially the burgeoning South African SME market," he says.
"We would like to thank all of our channel partners for their continued support and acknowledge the important role they play in our overall success. We look forward to building on the momentum gained through these awards and hope to grow our business even further with the help of our celebrated channel partners," concludes Jansen van Rensburg.
