Avnet has received the 2015 EMC Distributor Partner of the Year Awards for both North America and Latin America from EMC Corporation.
These awards distinguish EMC channel partners who have exceeded their joint sales and business goals – Avnet reached substantial growth in the two regions, driven in large part by the sales of EMC storage, big data, cloud, backup and recovery products and solutions. These honors also celebrate Avnet’s performance in terms of the investments made in these regions such as new internal resources, executed marketing campaigns and newly recruited business partners.
“Avnet has been successfully working with EMC for more than 15 years to deliver consistent value to the channel, and this is one of the key reasons EMC honored us as the North America Distributor Partner of the Year,” said Eric Barnhart, vice president of Avnet’s EMC solutions business unit in the Americas.
“This award highlights our team’s dedication to helping our EMC partners succeed, as well as Avnet’s ability to help EMC blaze the trail in creating innovative solutions for the channel based on EMC technology. We provide real-world solutions for our partners through our cutting-edge marketing programs, services innovation, supply chain support, engineering capabilities, and sales engagement and operations.”
“Receiving the Latin America Distributor Partner of the year from EMC underscores the significance of Avnet and EMC’s relationship and Avnet’s continuing commitment to hone our unique capabilities and provide value to our EMC partners,” said Eduardo Barron, vice president, Avnet Technology Solutions, Latin America and the Caribbean. “Avnet leads the pack when it comes to bringing EMC solutions to market, providing seamless success for our partners and reducing the complexity of building world-class converged solutions.”
