Dimension Data named APC Elite Partner of the Year

"We are extremely proud of this achievement as it stands testimony to our ability to consistently deliver against our clients' requirements and our partner goals. Our ability to innovatively plan, build and support client solutions is what sets us apart," says Youssef Fawaz, managing director of Dimension Data Middle East.

Although Dimension Data has been a local and regional APC Partner for almost 14 years, it has held Elite Partner status for more than four years, and is one of only a handful of Elite Partners across the Middle East and Africa region. "The Business Development Initiative award is one that shows our ability to actively seek innovative ways to provide relevant solutions to our clients," says Nicholas Shaw, general manager of advanced infrastructure at Dimension Data South Africa.

Actively promoted solutions

"These awards underscore our long-standing and collaborative partnership with APC. As businesses strive to ensure they operate at maximum efficiency with minimal downtime, it has become critical that we ensure our clients continue operating no matter what happens to their physical infrastructure."

Olivier Delepine, vice president UAE and Gulf Countries at APC Schneider Electric, says: "In addition to being the largest APC partner in the region, Dimension Data has embraced the partnership model and shown initiative to actively promote the full spectrum of Schneider Electric's solutions.

"When we engage with a partner, we not only make sure that we have common business interests, but also that we are sharing the same values. This is clearly the case with Dimension Data, which has shown true leadership and collaboration with the APC brand across the Middle East and Africa region. The company has also displayed its commitment to exploring larger opportunities, with APC fully behind Dimension Data," he says.
