Twelve of APC by Schneider Electric’s leading IT distributors and Channel Partners across ANZ have been recognised in the 2020 APC Channel Awards for their excellence in sales, innovation and value creation in 2020.
The awards consisted of 12 categories, three of which adopted public voting during the judging process, namely, Distributor Sales Champion of the Year, Distributor Technical Champion of the Year, and Distributor People’s Choice of the Year.
Two new categories have been introduced to the 2020 APC Channel Awards: Partner Spotlight of the Year, to acknowledge the partner’s agility and brand awareness raising; and Distributor People’s Choice of the Year, to recognise the hardworking individual behind the scenes that has provided APC Channel Partners with excellent support, such as ensuring information about the APC products and services are easily accessible, and that APC Channel Partners receive their orders in time.
Joe Craparotta, Vice President - IT Business & Strategic Segments at Schneider Electric, congratulated all the winners and said, “2020 proved to be an extraordinary year for the IT industry that highlighted the power of collaboration, agility and resilience in the channel ecosystem. We saw a rise of informal collaborations among our key partners, which enabled them to deliver substantial value for our customers, despite the tumultuous year we had.
“We feel proud of all entrants this year, who have displayed dedication and competence through their achievements and business practices. We would also like to thank and honour every one of our channel partners and distributions for their unwavering support.”
Highlights of the winners this year include High Technology Control (HTC), the winner of Partner Spotlight of the year, for HTC’s contribution to the delivery of the most efficient cooling solutions to support both IT and Industrial Edge installations.
Schneider also revealed that in 2021, a new award category would be introduced, the MSP Partner of the Year, along with a matching new program to enable Managed Service Providers, who are specialists that help customers to minimise the risk of interruption to business due to technology failures, more effectively.
“We pride ourselves on being a vendor that prioritises partnerships, supports partners’ growth, and recognises those who actively engage with our broader ecosystem and are creating massive value for our customers,” added Joe.
