South Africa-based Datacentrix, an ICT solutions was recently named OpenText’s “Fast Growth Market Partner of the Year”, award at the vendor’s recent international Enterprise World conference.
This is the first time that the Fast Growth Market award has been up for grabs, said OpenText country sales director for sub-Saharan Africa, Lenore Kerrigan, and a real coup for the winner to be a South African company. “OpenText has four regions globally, which includes the recently formed Fast Growth Markets region; Latin America, CIS/ CEE (Russia and Eastern Europe), the Middle East, Africa, India, China and Japan.
“There were several criteria that were considered when it came to naming a winner for this award, including OpenText licence sales achievement, implementation projects, the breadth of coverage within OpenText’s portfolio, skills depth, investment in skills on OpenText solutions, reference customers and the partner’s overall commitment to OpenText,” Kerrigan added. “And Datacentrix more than met these requirements to take the prize.”
In fact, of the four key business unit awards presented at the Enterprise World, Datacentrix was the only successful organisation that was neither US nor European-based, solidifying an already strong partnership and building a solid foundation for future growth, she stated.
Juane Peacock, managing director: coastal regions and Enterprise Information Management (EIM) at Datacentrix, said the award not only strengthens Datacentrix’s relationship as a strategic OpenText partner, it also provides the company with even greater creditability within the EIM market in South Africa.
Datacentrix is the only Platinum partner for OpenText in South Africa and is also an accredited service and software partner for SAP.
