2e2 shortlisted in the Public Sector Reseller of the Year category at this year’s MicroScope ACES
Newbury, UK - 2e2, a leading provider of mission-critical IT services, proudly announces it has been shortlisted in the Public Sector Reseller of the Year category at this year’s MircoScope Awards for Channel Excellence (MircoScope ACES) 2010.
2e2 entered the award to recognise its work within the public sector, offering innovative solutions that transform processes, reduce infrastructure costs and enhance performance. As the public sector tightened its budget, local and central government bodies looked at IT to deliver the business transformation, enabling 2e2 to propose an increased number of Software as a Service (SaaS) and hosted solutions. 2e2 focuses increasingly on selected verticals, including the public sector which now accounts for 35% of its annual revenues, and works with 24 London boroughs; an impressive 74% of the total.
One London Borough that has benefited from working with 2e2 is the London Borough of Brent (LBB), which saw 2e2 implement Cisco’s Call Manager Enterprise Telephony Solution and Microsoft Office Communications Server. The deployment of unified communications within LBB has revolutionised the way in which council staff communicate, both internally and externally, with a change from an inefficient process into something that was fast, efficient and easy-to-use.
The MicroScope ACES Awards annually reward the achievements of resellers and distributors across the channel. The leading industry awards are judged by a panel of trade experts including analysts, independent consultants and editorial staff from MicroScope.
Nathan Marke, Group CTO for 2e2 said: “2e2 is delighted to be shortlisted in the Public Sector Reseller of the Year category at these Awards. Our public sector customers see IT as a key enabler to drive productivity and process efficiency, remove cost and deliver value. In the future, the G-Cloud will become a key part of the £3.2bn savings per year outlined in the Government’s Operational Efficiency Programme, and 2e2 is working hard to deliver solutions that will enable those public organisations involved to benefit from the secure, resilient and cost-effective service environment. By becoming a technology partner with 2e2, our customers benefit from a combination ofinnovative technology around web and cloud computing. Also, 2e2’s deep knowledge of technology and highly capable delivery and services infrastructure offer a fast return on investment.”
