Apptis Technology Solutions Reaches Top Tier of EMC Velocity2 Partner Program

Apptis Technology Solutions (ATS), a division of Apptis, Inc., and a technology solutions provider and value-added reseller, announced that it has achieved EMC Velocity2 Signature Partner status. Working with EMC since 2001, ATS successfully attained revenue, investment, performance and certification requirements to reach the highest level of the partner program.

"EMC is a strategic partner and we’re very pleased to be recognized at the top of their list of solution providers," said Rene LaVigne, President and Chief Operating Officer of ATS. "In achieving EMC Signature Partner status we’ve demonstrated our commitment to providing superior technology solutions for data center initiatives to our clients with industry leading technical expertise as well as the resources needed for critical consultative architecture, execution and post implementation support."

As an EMC Velocity2 Signature Partner, ATS will continue to provide EMC’s industry-leading products for data center management to its clients in the federal government, including the Military Health System, the Department of Defense and the US Department of Veterans Affairs. This includes solutions in the areas of disaster recovery, virtualization, storage and document management. With international reach as well, ATS introduces EMC solutions to federal agencies in areas of the world not reachable by EMC alone. In addition, with this new partner status, ATS has exclusive access to EMC benefits and rewards for sales performance, technical training, financial services, product marketing and operational support.

"As we’ve moved through EMC’s partner program to reach EMC Velocity2 Signature Partner status, the benefits have increased tremendously," added Stu Strang, SVP of Sales Operations. "These benefits are transferred directly to our customers. The more opportunities we have to provide best-of-breed solutions and to earn advanced certifications, the more we are able to provide enhanced support for IT projects that other solutions providers can not match. We are looking forward to the new opportunities this partnership will bring about."
