ANZ Growth Partner of the Year Awarded to Optus Enterprise following exceptional engagement.
Hitachi Vantara, the modern infrastructure, data management and digital solutions subsidiary of Hitachi, has announced the winners of its 2023 ANZ Partner Awards at the company’s regional partner conference held in Canberra recently.
In celebrating another year of growth and excellence, the event attracted Hitachi Vantara’s Australian and New Zealand distributors, partners and technology alliances and recognised the organisation’s top performing partners for their contributions in driving revenue growth and unlocking business value for their customers during the last financial year.
Optus Enterprise won the “ANZ Growth Partner of the Year” following exceptional engagement with both enterprises and Hitachi Vantara, delivering the best year-on-year growth for 2023. The organisation provides a full breadth of managed technology and services from applications, security, cloud-led ICT, to collaboration and contact centres.
Ethan Global took home ‘ANZ Rising Partner of the Year’ award for its significant growth in revenue and new pipeline in digital infrastructure solutions for enterprises and government organisations.
The new ‘Acquisition Win of the Year’ award category was presented to Datacom Australia in recognition of securing a highly valued new customer win in the New South Wales public sector.
For the second year in a row, Computer Concepts Limited (part of Spark Business Group) continued to lead the way in delivering cloud computing and services to its customers in New Zealand. Not only are they Hitachi Vantara ANZ Elite Partner of Year for 2023 but the partner was also awarded this year’s ANZ Cloud Service Provider of the Year for innovation in As-a-Service offerings.
Finally, VMware Australia was honoured with the ‘Technology Alliance Partner of the Year’ award for 2023. The Hitachi Vantara and VMware relationship continues to grow from strength to strength with many customers in Australia and New Zealand relying on joint on-premise cloud and/or hybrid cloud solutions, delivered and supported by Hitachi Vantara’s professional services, customer service and support teams.
“The last 12 months has been an outstanding year for Hitachi Vantara’s ANZ partner program during which time we continued to implement partner feedback on tools and enablement and jointly drove a sustainable and profitable digital infrastructure business” said Steven Lee, Director Strategic Partner & Alliances, Hitachi Vantara Australia and New Zealand.
“We have seen significant improvements in the usage of partner tools, the enablement of our partner ecosystem, both in terms of virtual and exclusive face-to-face events like our Partner Technical Ambassador Club (PTAC), not to mention the growth in new partners and customer logos.”
Lee continued, “As we look forward to the year ahead, we will continue to be laser focused on building our valued partner and channel ecosystem and jointly go to market together to help customers navigate their business and IT challenges surrounding data protection, cyber resiliency, application and workload placement across hybrid and multi-cloud and storage investment modernisation. At the same time, we also look forward to supporting end-user customers in leveraging universal data management to secure, protect, manage and enable modern data pipelines for real-time business value and insights.
“We congratulate all our 2023 award winners and honour our entire ANZ partner channel for their on-going support in building exceptional momentum and working alongside Hitachi Vantara to consistently support exceptional data-driven customers experiences with sustainable solutions which ultimately provide value and deliver better business outcomes.”
