Southern Cross Computer Systems has won the Huawei Australia integrated solution partner award, in honour of the reseller's end-to-end deployment for a "major infrastructure consultancy".
The award was handed to Southern Cross at the vendor's Melbourne partner conference on Tuesday night.
"Southern Cross Computer Systems has successfully transformed a major infrastructure consultancy company’s IT systems to an end-to-end Huawei infrastructure including switching, server and storage," announced Huawei.
"After the new IT system’s implementation, the end user is able to spread the workload into the cloud, while at the same time improve overall reliability of the systems using a single vendor and integrator."
The event at Federation Square also saw Box Hill Institute receive the 'information and network academy partner' award, for its educational achievements.
"Box Hill Institute is the first Huawei Authorised Information and Network Academy in Australia. It has completed the initial setup and is offering its support to Huawei eco-system and the community overall," Huawei Australia stated.
A further five partner awards will be revealed tonight at the Sydney edition of the Huawei Enterprise Partner Conference, held at Darling Harbour.
New incentives
The Melbourne summit also saw Huawei Huawei Australia enterprise channel sales director Leo Lynch expand on the new partner incentive initiatives as well as the signing of two new distributors, reported earlier this week.
In the company-based Star program, the first 30 partners to bring in revenue of at least US$5,000 will win a Huawei smartphone and the first 10 partners to place at least three purchase orders and generate more than US$199,999 of sales will score a US$5,000 travel voucher.
The Channel Elite program sees individual staff at partner organisations accrue points for achieving certain targets. There are targets for sales, technical and service staff, and the every 10 points can be redeemed for a AU$150 retail voucher.
Lynch told CRN earlier this week he hopes the initiatives will further fuel an already hot Huawei channel.
"In 2014, enterprise sales were 65 percent through the channel. That went up to 80 percent in 2015 after I joined. This year we're aiming for 88 percent."
