Dimension Data, the $5,8-billion global ICT solutions and services provider, has announced Polycom, the global leader in open standards-based unified communications and collaboration (UC&C), has named Dimension Data as both Global and EMEA System Integrator of the Year, for the second year in a row.
Dimension Data received the awards at TEAM Polycom 2013, the company’s annual sales and partner conference, held in Vancouver, British Columbia, from 4 to 7 February 2013.
“We are proud to be recognised by Polycom for our excellence in execution for two consecutive years,” says Graham Parker, Dimension Data’s operations director, Global Solutions and Services.
“Together with Polycom, Dimension Data is meeting client demand for end-to-end solutions based on the Microsoft Lync platform. Being acknowledged by Polycom for this work is great validation of our investments and vision in the evolving UC&C marketplace.”
“In an ever-changing, rapidly growing market, it’s critical to have partners like Dimension Data who can help us meet our customers’ complete business needs with transformative solutions and tailored UC&C offerings that enable people to work and collaborate better,” says Ron Myers, senior VP, Worldwide Channels, Polycom. “We congratulate Dimension Data for their continued excellence.”
