Long-Term Partnership : Dell

https://www.dell.com/en-us 

Dell Partner Software in NAM is committed to One Identity and the sellers [over 250 inside sellers and 50 field sellers] within that entity only sell 3rd party software and with their strong Microsoft alignment gain tremendous value in aligning to Quest & One Identity as a strategic partnership.   This mature long-term relationship enhanced by a past ownership - has enabled joint selling motions that yield great customer outcomes.  The thriving customer relationships are enhanced by the deep knowledge of the solutions from Quest/One Identity team members, yielding strong collaboration throughout the sales process.

Regular executive leadership alignment (Dell - One Identity) keeps the focus on the elements of success.  Alongside this alignment with other key business team members including partner marketing; channel account management & alliance teams key everyone focused on the right outcomes and spurn new initiatives embracing new offerings - a recent example being syslog-ng sales play for Splunk.

The relationship works - and yields continual success with high revenue production - a great example of long-term partnership at work and is serving the complex needs of our mutual customers.

Innovation is part of the DNA at ICSynergy!  As a Platinum+ partner, investing in enablement and achieving success in helping drive forward large-scale opportunities they have mastered all the key IAM disciplines on offer.

Success Story : ICSynergy International

https://www.icsynergy.com/ 

A second award this year, goes to ICSynergy.  Founded back in 2000, ICSynergy has become a leading integrator of successful Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions, providing IAM advisory, IAM architecture and IAM implementation services.  A track record of hundreds of successful implementations leads to their involvement in significant projects.   

This year, working in collaboration with One Identity, ICSynergy was instrumental in a multi-million dollar deal at one of the world’s largest and most broadly based healthcare companies, which due to their size was inevitably complex but together they helped navigate through the deployment lifecycle and a good customer outcome was reached.

As ICSynergy themselves declare, "We stand behind our work and our customers. We align our IAM solutions with your business and technology priorities. It’s no surprise that nearly all of our Fortune 1,000 customers consider us a trusted advisor". 

Customer success with One Identity is no stranger for ICSynergy and they have created a seamless relationship with One Identity which enhances business outcomes.   A past One Identity Partner of the Year, their sentiment is captured in this video : https://www.oneidentity.com/casestudy/for-icsynergy-seamless-relationship-with-one-identity-enhances-busines8130806/
