April 26, 2005 - Avnet Partner Solutions Wins the IBM Top Performer Award for the Fifth Consecutive Time

Vienna -- “Quality is proved only by staying power,” the country manager of Avnet Partner Solutions Austria, Roman Rudolf, again saw his credo recently confirmed. No wonder, because for the fifth consecutive year he accepted the Austrian IBM Top Performer Award for Avnet Partner Solutions Austria, as the only value-added distributor.

Günter Graf, manager of the IBM business partner organization said at the award ceremony: “We have every severe criteria for the award. It is important to us that the award winner not only sells our product, but above all offers high-quality consultation and support. The Avnet Partner Solutions client-orientation approach has again been convincing this year.”

Roman Rudolf adds that Avnet’s engagement goes far beyond consultation. APS also offers IBM certification courses: “In this way we keep the know-how of our IBM business partners at a constant high level. And that, above all, benefits the end consumer. It is not without reason that our mottos is: Dedicated to Your Success.”

For the Avnet country manager, the excellent team spirit is above all decisive for the constant high quality in client orientation. “I know how much energy and work is necessary each day – and how one must be convinced about what one does. Thank you. My thanks go to the entire team!”

“It is wonderful if one can rely on a partner and its constant quality,” congratulated IBM manager Günter Graf – and simultaneously opened the race for the 2005 IBM Top Performer Award, which will be awarded in March 2006. The Avnet partner solutions team will naturally again do its best to win the prize.
