“Datacentrix not only took the top title of ‘Value Added Reseller of the Year, South Africa’, for demonstrating the highest growth in Veeam sales during 2022, but the company showed that it is able to cater for clients of all sizes by also winning the ‘Best SMB Reselling Partner of the Year, South Africa’ award,” explained Wimpie van Rensburg, Datacentrix Enterprise Solutions Business Unit Manager. “This particular award was given to Datacentrix for achieving the most SMB deals over the period.
