Didata wins Polycom System Integrator Partner Award

Dimension Data, the US$5.8 billion global ICT services and solutions provider, has been named both Global and EMEA System Integrator Partner of the Year by Polycom, a global leader in open standards-based unified communications.

Dimension Data received the award at TEAM Polycom 2012, the company's annual sales and partner conference, held recently in Orlando, Florida.

Dimension Data was honoured for both its success in taking to market unified communication and collaboration (UC&C) solutions integrating Polycom solutions and Microsoft Lync, as well as Dimension Data's ability to support Polycom as part of its Managed Services for Visual Communications.

Dion Bruyns, business development manager for visual communications, Dimension Data Middle East and Africa, says the award reinforces Dimension Data's unique multi-national approach to collaborative unified communications and its global Managed Services for Visual Communications offering. "With our breadth of skills and relevant consultative approach, we're especially well positioned to offer the full spectrum of Polycom solutions, complementing our Microsoft-based unified communications solutions."

Proud to be represented by the best

"We are working hard to make Polycom RealPresence video and voice collaboration widely available for people throughout the world, and we couldn't do it without partners like Dimension Data," said Ron Myers, Polycom's senior vice president of worldwide channels. "In both established and emerging markets worldwide, we're proud to be represented by the best this industry has to offer."

Curt Wheadon, vice president of alliances for Dimension Data Microsoft Solutions, said: "We are immensely pleased to be recognised by Polycom as a leading systems integration partner. Polycom products are essential components within our expanding Microsoft-based unified communications solutions. Our services, combined with Polycom and Microsoft unified communications products, enable our clients to improve the way they communicate and collaborate to achieve their business goals."
