IBM Awards Sysix Technologies, LLC "Premier" Partner Status
Sysix 'total solution' model, high customer satisfaction ratings, mid-market expertise and revenue growth were key factors in Sysix selection as the highest-level channel partner by IBM
Chicago, IL – December 18, 2002
Sysix Companies, a national provider of IT business solutions spanning computer hardware and software, consulting and financial services, announced today that it has been selected by IBM Corporation as a "Premier Business Partner," the highest level channel partner designation. Channel partners provide IBM solutions to customers within specific segments of the market, such as small and mid-market technology users, where IBM does not have a direct selling strategy. Sysix "total solution" model (hardware/software; consulting and financing); strong heritage in selling to the mid-market; solid growth in providing IBM-based solutions and high customer satisfaction ratings were key in the company’s selection by IBM.
As a Premier IBM Business Partner, Sysix and IBM will align their offerings to deliver the best possible solutions to Sysix' national base of customers in industries such as manufacturing, education, financial services, professional services, government, hospitality and other industries. The IBM solutions Sysix will offer include xSeries (Intel-based processors); iSeries (integrated application) servers; pSeries (Unix-based) servers, storage systems; software/ middleware; workstations/desktops/printers and related technology support services.
"Our selection as a Premier Business Partner represents a solid vote of confidence from IBM, one of the most powerful technology providers in the world," said Debra Shedd, Director of Business Development at Sysix. "This elite distinction is awarded only to a very select group – and achieving the Premier IBM Partner level is a tribute to the entire Sysix organization, our company's customer-driven total solution business model and our ongoing commitment to developing solutions with leading-edge technology. Sysix status as a Premier IBM Business Partner carries many new benefits that will allow our organization to continue to offer our customers even more enhanced solutions and services."
According to Bob Panos, Vice President and General Manager of Sysix Technologies, LLC, "Over the past several years, Sysix base of IBM customers has grown significantly and we expect this trend to continue. Our customers have continually given us high marks in terms of the solutions and support we provide and this satisfaction played a major role in our selection by IBM. Prior to awarding us with 'premier status,' IBM contracted with an independent firm to survey our current IBM customer base. Sysix received excellent ratings on our knowledge and understanding of IBM products and services; and our ability to recommend the best products and services to meet customer needs."
Panos continued, "As a Premier Business Partner, Sysix' dedicated team of IBM-certified solution experts will be eligible to participate in high level education and certification programs across the broad spectrum of IBM products and services. We will also work with IBM to develop unique solution offerings which will blend IBM's well respected lines of servers, desktops/ workstations, networking and storage products and software with Sysix signature brand of assessments and integrated solutions. The result will deliver ongoing technology innovation and added customer value."
