“Business growth at a time when governments and industries were juggling trade disputes, port congestions, and several-month pandemic lockdowns would seem like a reality few and far between. But despite the disruption, several companies have come out of these turbulent years with a backbone of resilience, and many with resources to accelerate new and innovative revenue streams. We believe our partners were at the vanguard of business continuity during this time,” said Bhatt.
“We would like to thank our 2021 winners and our entire team of reseller partners. Our success is a credit to their on-the-ground support and expertise, and we look forward to seeing this next year of business flourish under the full-line partner, offering more personalised, flexible service for any customer use case.”
As Vertiv endeavours to bring full and cohesive solutions to customers, strategic alliances with distributors Ingram Micro, Tech Data and Orion will promote solution accessibility for the end-user and create more opportunities for the channel.
Commenting on the numerous Orion partners that picked up a Vertiv channel award, Ross Palmer, director at Orion said, “We recognise the value of a true partnership model where our customers and their clients all benefit, and I’m glad to see this strategy in action with so many of our channel partners awarded for their hard work.
