Affiniti named Channel Company of the Year at Channel Network Awards
Affiniti, the communications integrator, was awarded Channel Company of the Year and best Managed Service Solution at the 2007 Channel Network Awards.
The Channel Network Awards recognise best practice in customer solutions and encourage channel partnerships and relations across the whole of the IT, telephony, voice/data convergence and Internet industries.
In addition to winning the special award for Channel Company of the Year, Affiniti scooped the Managed Service category for the outstanding solution and service it has delivered for North Wales Police.
Earlier this year, Affiniti was appointed to help North Wales Police transform and upgrade its network to an IP communications infrastructure through a cost neutral managed service deal. Affiniti implemented and managed the converged communications solution that affected 2,500 employees of the Police Force and improved service to North Wales residents.
Paul Renucci, Managing Director of Affiniti said, “We are absolutely delighted with our double win at the Channel Network Awards. They are great recognition for Affiniti as the communications integrator and for the solutions and services we provide to our customers. Our employees also greatly appreciate the kudos that they bring."
