Award-winning strength in partner relationships
December 7, 2011
In 2011, Frontline has worked extremely hard to cultivate strong and lasting partner relationships – in order to deliver the most comprehensive, best-of-breed solutions to our customers.
This work has been rewarded, with five key partner awards being presented to Frontline in 2011:
- Microsoft – Virtualisation Partner of the Year 2011
- Hitachi Data Systems -Partner of the Year 2011
- Red Hat – Strategic Partner of the Year 2011
- HP – ESSN Largest Revenue Achievement
- HP Financial Services – Highest Volume Award
Frontline was also a Finalist in Microsoft’s Desktop Partner of the Year award.
“These award are testimony to our commitment to forming very strong relationships with a select range of hardware vendors, system integrators and independent software vendors,” said Helen Bouropoulos, Frontline’s Head of Marketing.
“More importantly, it means that Frontline customers gain access to the very best technology on the market – delivered by our IT experts.”
Unsurpassed depth delivers best solutions
Frontline is one of few Australian IT companies that has such deep relationships with so many leading vendors. Our commitment to developing and maintaining these relationships pays enormous dividends to our customers – who only want the best technology and solutions.
“We take an agnostic and objective approach, building customer solutions by drawing upon multiple partners’ technologies. It’s our job to compare vendor offerings on behalf of our customers – we do the leg work and use our deep IT expertise to bring the whole solution together,” said Chris Ford, National Sales Manager.
Certainly, having strong partner relationships would mean little if Frontline were not able to back it up with its own technical expertise. Frontline’s expert knowledge of storage, servers, virtualisation, networking and security, cloud aggregation and more delivers the “value add” that so many of our customers have come to rely upon.
Into 2012 and beyond, Frontline is committed to strengthening existing partner relationships and ensuring that any emerging technology vendors that our customers may benefit from will join the list of partners we work closely with.
Frontline welcomes new faces
We are delighted to report on the continued growth of the national Frontline team. We have a brand new Inside Sales Representative team, headed by John Stevanja. Plus, we’ve added to our presales team, our marketing department and other areas within the business.
Here, we’d like to introduce some of our new team members.
Our new Head of Marketing, Helen Bouropoulos, joined Frontline in October. Helen is focused on developing a more enhanced customer-centric experience – and cites a key goal of her role as being to deliver thought-leadership and value-added services to our customers.
“Frontline is a very passionate company to work with. Everyone here is clearly committed to doing the best for the customer, and our marketing programs are certainly aligned to this goal,” she said.
Also in the marketing department, Mark Gett has joined the team as a Partner Marketing Manager. Frontline has also appointed Fay Messaike, who has been with Frontline for four years, as a Partner Marketing Manager – demonstrating our commitment to developing even stronger relationships with our partners.
“In these new roles, Fay and I are responsible for building mutually beneficial relationships with our key partners by working closely with vendors’ technology and marketing programs. In doing so, we are able to deliver the best solutions to our customers,” said Mark.
Mark brings 20 years’ experience in working with national IT resellers and vendors to his role at Frontline.
Darren Read has been appointed State Sales Manager in NSW. Darren joins Frontline Systems from HP, where he was Director for HP Networking ANZ.
He brings more than 20 years experience in Enterprise and Government IT environments to the role, and will play a key role in helping customers get better outcomes from their physical and virtual environments.
“I am very passionate about the efficient deployment of IT services in private, public and hybrid clouds; and am very motivated to help Frontline’s customers achieve their IT goals across networking, the data centre, distributed services and more,” said Darren.
Frontline welcomes John, Helen, Mark and Darren to the team.
Thanks for telling us what you’d do with your server room
July 22, 2011
Frontline is pleased to announce the winners of its recent Oracle Server Refresh competition.
In the competition, we asked you to imagine how much space you’d have to play with in your server room if you upgraded to the latest Sun SPARC Enterprise servers running the Oracle Solaris operating system.
Then we asked, “What would you do with all this space?”
