Xantium Technology Holdings, a black empowerment full service IT organisation that provides focused infrastructure, business and IT consulting solutions to selected leading corporations, national and local government, has recently been appointed a Premier Partner to EMC^2, a world leader in information storage systems, software and services.
The partnership, through the alignment of these business and technology environments, will provide the local market with complete information lifecycle management solutions, offering organisations support at any point in the customer's lifecycle, so as to more effectively implement, manage and control their architectural infrastructures.
Most importantly, the organisations will seek to combine their local and global understanding of selected industry sectors to actively develop solutions to client and industry challenges.
The engagement combines Xantium Technology Holdings' extensive consulting service expertise with EMC^2 global IT capability, allowing for the creation of a unique environment through the provision of a particular, integrated solution set, ranging from high-level consultancy skills through to implementation services, all within a full BEE offering.
"As a certified EMC^2 Velocity Premium Partner, this collaboration will see Xantium Technology Holdings sell, deliver and support EMC^2 solutions in South Africa," says Kamal Ramsingh, Chief Operations Officer of Xantium Technology Holdings. "Therefore not only are we able to consolidate Xantium's position as a market leader within the consulting landscape, but reinforce our product and implementation capability due to our partner status."
"EMC^2 chose to partner with Xantium Technology Holdings due to its consultancy expertise and strong focus on business transformation and BEE equity," says Frank Touwen, Chief Executive Officer of EMC^2.
"Xantium Technology Holdings works with companies, like EMC^2, to ensure we are able to provide a complete solution to business challenges - aligning customer demands with IT ability. We believe the culture fit between the two companies will see the development of long-term relationships for our customers and the industry," concludes Ramsingh.
Creation of equity and equitable opportunity is a moral necessity but it also makes great business sense. Today's markets are looking for true black employment equity 'information technology' partners. Partners that help meet our social challenge collectively and bring real value to their clients' businesses. IT is an enabler of outstanding business strategy; partners who deliver robust IT enablement for their clients' strategic needs contribute directly to the bottom line. This is Xantium.
