“Veeam has more than 37,000 ProPartners globally with more than 2,000 in the ANZ region, we are incredibly proud to highlight and honour these ProPartners,” said Peter Bender, Head of Channel and Alliances, ANZ at Veeam. “Our ProPartners are crucial to our business and these Awards are a tribute to our top-tier and mid-tier partners for their commitment in consistently over-achieving on their revenue targets. We believe this is a result of businesses recognising the requirements for maintaining an Always-On enterprise which can only be achieved by Veeam’s Availability solutions. Furthermore, the record breaking growth experienced by our ProPartners is a direct result of the enhancements we introduced mid last year to our ProPartner Program, new Veeam Cloud Connect capabilities and numerous investments we’ve made to our ProPartner Program.”

They highlight a commitment to embracing Veeam’s value proposition – both sales and technical through building professional services capabilities and moving from just licensing to being a value add solutions provider to our joint customers.”
