South Africa-based global specialist IT services and solutions provider Dimension Data was awarded Business Development Initiative of the Year Award for Southern Africa at a recent award ceremony held in Manila, Philippines — during the APC Schneider Electric Partner Conference.
The Middle East division of the South African company also received the Elite Partner of The Year award.
Olivier Delepine, Vice President UAE & Gulf Countries at APC by Schneider Electric, said: “In addition to being the largest APC partner in the region, Dimension Data has embraced the partnership model and shown initiative to actively promote the full spectrum of Schneider Electric’s solutions.”
He continued: “When we engage with a partner, we not only make sure that we have common business interests, but also that we are sharing the same values. This is clearly the case with Dimension Data, which has shown true leadership and collaboration with the APC brand across the Middle East and Africa region. The company has also displayed its commitment to exploring larger opportunities, with APC fully behind Dimension Data.”
According to Advanced Infrastructure’s general manager Nicholas Shaw, Dimension Data South Africa, has held Elite Partner status for more than four years.
The ICT Solutions company is also one of only a handful of Elite Partners across Africa.
“The Business Development Initiative award shows our ability to actively seek innovative ways to provide relevant solutions to our clients. These awards underscore our long-standing and collaborative partnership with APC.
“As businesses strive to ensure they operate at maximum efficiency with minimal downtime, it has become critical that we ensure our clients continue operating no matter what happens to their physical infrastructure,” Shaw said.
