Avnet Technology Solutions has been recognised as one of six Fujitsu Gold Distributors as part of the 2008 Fujitsu Services Supplier Management Programme.
The annual programme acknowledges suppliers commitment to working with Fujitsu Services to provide solutions to customers, meeting strict legislative and performance criteria.
The new programme enables suppliers to benefit from regular technology and strategy briefings from Fujitsu. To be accepted into the programme, suppliers must comply with corporate and social responsibility requirements. They must also adhere to quality operations and business standards that are assessed and regularly reviewed by Fujitsu Services to ensure continuity of service delivery.
The Fujitsu Services Supplier Management Programme demonstrates a collaborative approach to working with suppliers both on delivering exceptional solutions to customers and supporting the long term business growth of both companies. Avnet, which supplies both Sun Microsystems and IBM equipment to Fujitsu Services, demonstrated the commitment and trust required to work at the highest level as a Gold Distributor. Being part of the Supplier Management Programme ensures a more cohesive and high quality end solution from credible, proven suppliers to give Fujitsu customers confidence in their technology investment.
Fujitsu Services manages suppliers in the programme with a strict criteria and scorecard mechanism that identifies status level and assesses business risk.
We are delighted with this recognition from Fujitsu Services, said Matthew Gower, vice president of sales UK, Ireland and Nordic at Avnet Technology Solutions. We have long invested in people and processes to ensure that we provide technical products that are supported by the highest standards of business operations and service delivery. Working with Fujitsu Services both on a strategic business level and with their technical community ensures that we keep our finger on the pulse to be a trusted business partner that continues to support Fujitsus business aims and ethos.
