SPLA Distributor award, bestowed on 14 October

F
irst Distribution’s award is in recognition of driving
key business processes and readiness with the
SPLA partner community. Readiness events, consistent roundtables,
licensing expertise,
driving business with discipline
and integrity, on time reporting,
and adherence to compliance
at all times contributed to the
success of First Distribution’s
hosting business, and to the
winning of the award.
First Distribution’s SPLA business has grown significantly
over the last two years. First
Distribution remains the largest
CSR in MEA and continues to
innovate and drive the cloud
and hosting business.
The company has invested in technical skills from both a
back-office and account management perspective, and
coupled with the fact that it has more than 10 years of experience in dealing with SPLA, the distributor’s understanding
of SPLA and Volume Licensing is currently of an exceptional standard.

have this award bestowed upon us
by Microsoft. Winning this award
reinforces our commitment to both
our partners and to our hosting and
cloud business.”
