Technical & business performance leads to twin honours
Arrow Electronics emerged from Kontron’s Global Partner Event, held during March in Augsburg, Germany, with two awards in recognition of its technical and business performance. The first award was ‘Best Global COM System Integrator’, which was accepted by Arrow’s OEM Computer Solutions (OCS) team in Israel.
This was decided based on the integration skills demonstrated by Arrow when working with complex products, particularly in the communications sector. Arrow’s expertise with products such as the SYMKLOUD scalable, converged Cloud infrastructure platform proved decisive in the choice. SYMKLOUD solutions combine compute, storage and networking resources in a compact, modular 2U system.
The second award was for ‘Highest Revenue in EMEA’ during 2015. Arrow’s ability to cover the entire EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) market, coupled with its close cooperation with Kontron at a local level, was instrumental in achieving this level of performance.
“We congratulate Arrow for the two awards and look forward to a further fruitful cooperation in the coming years,” says Rolf Schwirz, CEO, Kontron. “The IoT offers many new opportunities and challenges that we would like to exploit with a valued partner like Arrow.” Amir Mobayen, vice president and general manager EMEA, Arrow OEM Computing Solutions, said: “We are honoured to receive these awards, which I am pleased to accept on behalf of everyone who contributed to our success. We look forward to a renewed collaboration with Kontron whilst we expand our IoT business in the years ahead.”
