IMC is based on the BCL Mine Site in Selebi- Phikwe and BCL Limited is one of their major customers. The infrastructure optimisation projects undertaken by IMC at BCL are amongst the solutions that have contributed to them being recognised with this award.
"To be recognised on a worldwide stage is a fantastic validation for us and for our customers," said Alex Mac Donald, a Director at IMC. "To be the first Microsoft partner in Botswana and in fact the entire East and Southern Africa region (excluding South Africa), to ever receive an award at the worldwide conference makes this achievement especially significant," he said. Awards will be presented in a number of categories, with winners chosen from a pool of nearly 2,000 entrants worldwide. The Networking Infrastructure Solutions Partner of the Year award honours partners who have infrastructure practices with proven proficiency in implementing solutions based on Windows Server operating systems. This award also recognises partners with innovative services-based solutions that help customers realize their potential by providing operational efficiencies with the help of Windows Server and other related infrastructure technologies. "Partners are the key to igniting business innovation through great technology as well as helping customers drive down costs," said Allison Watson, Corporate Vice President, Worldwide Partner Group, Microsoft Corporation.
