Dell Awards TIG for BUSINESS GROWTH; Legoland® A BUILDING BLOCK IN DELL/TIG SUCCESS
|
ROUND ROCK, Texas, March 12, 2010 / -- Dell recently announced Technology Integration Group (TIG) as its inaugural Channel Partner of the Year. A Dell Certified Enterprise Architecture partner, TIG was recognized for its growth in client PCs, enterprise data center solutions and services.
 Throughout 2009, TIG worked closely with Dell PartnerDirect to deliver best value solutions for global customers and win new business including LEGOLAND® California Resort. TIG and Dell partnered to address LEGOLAND California’s growing data center needs and delivered an efficient and scalable solution for the theme park.
“TIG is an exemplary partner and a model for the kind of solution provider we want at the core of Dell PartnerDirect. The relationship and trust we share inspires all our channel relationships,” said Jim Defoe, area vice president, Dell Global Commercial Channels. “Our U.S. commercial channel business grew 26.5 percent in 2009 —three times the market —and represents 26 percent of Dell’s overall global commercial revenues. That performance is thanks to partners like TIG.”
When LEGOLAND California’s storage array crashed, TIG’s team worked through the night to install Dell EqualLogic™ storage, create a virtual server environment with Dell PowerEdge™ servers, and unify the data center fabric with Dell PowerConnect™ switches. As a result of the fast response, LEGOLAND was able to open for business the next day, ensuring no lost revenue or unhappy customers. LEGOLAND California Resort now has a reliable solution that enables them to focus less time on managing IT and more time on delighting theme park goers.
“When our previous storage array crashed, TIG and Dell were critical in helping us get up and running again, enabling us to open the park for business, and saving us from losing valuable revenue,” said Mike Gehrman, head of IT for LEGOLAND California Resort.
TIG is a computer systems integrator and IT solutions consultant with over 28 years of experience servicing customers globally. TIG provides expertise in such areas as systems engineering and consulting, managed services, enterprise storage and virtualization, IT security, unified communications and network infrastructure.
“We are honored to receive the Dell Partner of the Year award,” said Bruce Geier, TIG president and CEO. “Dell has been an exceptional partner for both our management and sales teams, resulting in new business for both companies. We look forward to continuing our success with Dell.”
