Storage Reseller of the Year - for second year running
Bell Microsystems has been named 'Storage Reseller of the Year', in a series of awards organised by MicroScope magazine. The MicroScope ACEs awards provide a means for customers and manufacturers to recognise and reward excellence in the IT supply channel – and Bell Microsystems has dominated the Storage Reseller category since the awards were introduced in 2007."Last year, receiving MicroScope magazine’s first ever Storage Reseller of the Year award was a great honour," comments Alastair Bell, Managing Director, Bell Microsystems. "However, winning the award for a second year running means even more to us – as it shows that the Bell Microsystems team is both capable of setting the highest standards and then consistenly delivering against those standards over the long-term. Because the awards are decided based on votes from customers, manufacturers and distributors, it's a tremendous endorsement from the people that really matter.
"In an industry where a lot of suppliers seem to place too much emphasis on selling as much as they possibly can, Bell Microsystems has taken a very different approach. We've worked hard to establish a reputation for helping customers to adapt their existing data storage infrastructure in order to improve the performance of key business processes and to reduce operating costs by getting more out of their current IT investments."
"In the information age, data is the life-blood of virtually every business. If an organisation can't store data, access it and process it – efficiently – that can adversely affect the organisation's ability to deal with customers and suppliers, capitalise on new business opportunities and control running costs. However, with the inexorable rise in the amount of data each business needs to store, the old approach of simply buying more of the largest, fastest storage devices does not make economic sense. That's where our intelligent approach to assessing a customer's existing storage estate and finding ways to adapt it – while balancing performance and budgets – offers real benefits."
Bell Microsystems holds accreditations from a number of leading storage vendors, yet the company remains totally independent of any one vendor – so that it can guide clients through key storage vendors' offerings. The company also offers a very wide range of IT Lifecycle Management Services, to cover every stage of an IT storage system's lifecycle – from initial consultancy and proof of concepts through to final decommissioning at the end of a system's working life. At the decommissioning stage, Bell Microsystems' range of services includes secure data destruction and hardware recycling that fully complies with the WEEE Directive.
The company's IT Lifecycle Management Services can also play a major role in helping businesses to cut energy consumption and reduce their carbon footprint. These factors, together with Bell Microsystems' hardware recycling capabilities, saw the company also short listed for MicroScope's 2008 Environmental Company of the Year award.
Bell Microsystems' success in the MicroScope ACEs awards comes only shortly after the company achieved its fourth appearance in the annual Sunday Times Microsoft Tech Track 100 league table of the fastest growing unquoted technology companies, by sales growth.
