Telstra, Dicker Data, Spark NZ and Ingram Micro NZ win big at Poly ANZ awards
Poly has announced the winners of the Poly ANZ Partner Awards, a programme that recognises exceptional channel partners who have achieved incredible success through leadership, innovation and resilience in the region.
Held via a virtual awards ceremony. Spark NZ was named NZ Partner of the Year with Ingram Micro NZ taking out the title for New Zealand Distributor of the Year. Telstra was awarded AU Partner of the Year, while Dicker Data took out the gong for Australian Distributor of the Year
Andy Hurt, Poly ANZ managing director, says it was extremely difficult to pick the winners from an outstanding group of finalists.
"We are delighted to honour these exceptional partners, who have weathered a very challenging year yet still delivered service excellence to customers," he says.
"The standard of all the finalists was exceptionally high, with all entrants going above and beyond to meet the needs of our joint customers.
"We have seen our resellers smash sales targets, excel at providing hybrid solutions, and overall offer amazing support to customers trying to navigate the 'new normal' of distributed working and difficult lockdowns."
While this year's awards were held as a virtual ceremony, Poly says the recognition of the winners achievements is no less a celebration.
"Telstra won our Australian Partner of the Year awards for achieving the greatest number of sales as well as demonstrating excellence in innovation and implementation of customer solutions," Hurt says.
"Similarly, the New Zealand Partner of the Year celebrates Spark NZ for continuing to collaborate and grow with Poly. We congratulate all our winners and look forward to another productive year."
