InfoSystems, one of the fastest-growing information technology
(IT), communications and software solutions providers in the
Southeast, was awarded the prestigious IBM Mid-Market Leadership
Award at the IBM PartnerWorld Leadership Conference, March 1, in
New Orleans.
“InfoSystems is dedicated to providing the right solutions to
our customers, regardless of size,” said InfoSystems President and
CEO, Clay Hales. “It is rewarding to be able to bring such
tremendous value to our small and medium-size customers through our
partnership with IBM, an undisputed international technology
leader, and our highly trained and talented technology team. We
appreciate IBM’s recognition, partnership and their confidence in
us.”
The Mid-Market Leadership Award recognizes IBM Business Partners
who demonstrate the most impressive year-to-year growth in the
small to medium-size business (SMB) market, and who offer
innovative business solutions. InfoSystems saw double-digit
growth in the SMB market and was one of five IBM Business Partners
in North America selected for this award.
"It is wonderful to see a partner like InfoSystems, who has been
so loyal to the IBM brand, to the IBM strategy and to their end
users for so many years, enjoy the success from their efforts. And,
even better, to see them recognized for those efforts," remarked
Heidi O'Connor, territory sales manager with Arrow Enterprise
Computing Solutions in Atlanta, Georgia.
InfoSystems’ IBM partnership started in 1994, when the company
first opened its doors with eight employees. An IBM Premier Partner
for 12 straight years, since the beginning of the program,
InfoSystems has grown and diversified its technology offering and
now has more than 50 employees. In 2011, InfoSystems saw a solid
20% growth in revenue over the previous year, with more than $35
million in revenue. Mr. Hales is a member of the IBM Global
Business Partner Advisory Council and the Arrow IBM Advisory
Council for Enterprise Storage Solutions. Through the years,
InfoSystems has received numerous IBM awards, including last year’s
2010 North America IBM Leadership Award.
“Since the beginning, IBM has been an important part of our
success and growth,” said InfoSystems COO, Tim Phelan. “We are
committed to the SMB market and we are proud to receive this award.
We look forward to another year of delivering excellence in
technology solutions and service to our customers with IBM.”
