The winners from the awards night included; Peter Pollari, vendor manager for Juniper Networks at Ingram Micro was named Solution Vendor Manager of the Year; the Ingram Micro Licensing Administration Team was awarded the Solution Team Player of the Year; the Solution Deal of the Year was awarded to reseller, Daltron (Gary Larking, Daltron pictured with Guy Freeland); Solution of the Year was awarded to the reseller, Bekkers; Solution Vendor of the Year, was awarded to Hewlett Packard (James Moore, HP accepts the award from Guy Freeland); and Solution Reseller of the Year was awarded to Commander.

Guy Freeland, managing director at Ingram Micro Australia said the distributor has a strong commitment to the success of the Solutions Group.

“We have very deliberately invested heavily in people with the requisite technical and other skills to be relevant in the infrastructure and software solutions space, and have augmented this with essential support through establishment of our technical lab, configuration centre and Orbital training programmes,” he said.
