StorTech once again took top honours at the annual Symantec African Partner Channel Awards, being named the Symantec Reseller Partner of the Year for the second year in a row.
Kevin Isaac, Symantec Vice President Emerging Markets said StorTech played an integral role within various enterprise accounts and continues to broaden Symantec’s footprint by setting the benchmark above all expectations.
“This year will see a more focused partner enablement programme to ensure our partners are able to present our rich portfolio of security and availability products and services to the South African market,” said Isaac.
Symantec attributes StorTech’s continued success to the investment in skills to enhance support and customer satisfaction.
In addition, StorTech won two individual awards for the Best Symantec Pre-Sales Engineer and the Best Symantec Sales Person of the Year. Both these individuals are exceptional performers and industry experts.
Symantec partners comprise a variety of organisations within the channel, placing a lot of emphasis on channel performance. StorTech achieved the highest revenue in the channel during the year.
“Our acquisitions and organic growth have seen Symantec’s product range evolve from point products to solutions sets that deliver measurable business benefits and returns on customers’ investments. Our partner community, therefore, is being asked by customers to identify and articulate deeper business benefits that help them secure and manage their information. These awards recognise those partners who have met this need and delivered a superior service to customers.”
StorTech CEO Tim Knowles said that StorTech is proud of this achievement and will build on its past successes. “StorTech is a progressive company. Our software engineers are of the highest calibre in the industry and combined with adopting and embracing new technology and creative solution bundling, we will continue to drive our sales effort to best meet and exceed our clients’ business requirements.”
“These awards are testament to our commitment to providing our clients with quality solutions and the best value added service to design, implement and support these solutions,” added Knowles.
