Auckland, NZ – Enghouse Interactive wins the Software Vendor of the Year at the New Zealand 2015 ICT Industry Awards; competing with finalists such as Microsoft, VMware and Veeam.
The cream of the channel crop joined together in celebration as Reseller News kicked off its 2015 Reseller News ICT Industry Awards in style in Auckland.
Held at a glittering event at Hilton Hotel, close to 300 ICT industry leaders united to applaud vendors, distributors and reseller partners for their success in the previous 12 months while also acknowledging outstanding individuals and their achievements.
Hosted by Paul Ego in its inaugural year, the packed house celebrated A Night Of Stars in true Kiwi style, loudly cheering its favourites as finalists were announced.
This year, there were three inductees into the Hall of Fame: Westcon’s Dave Rosenberg, HP’s Keith Watson and Datacom’s Scott Green – in the coming weeks Reseller News will present in-depth interviews honouring all three.
