Schneider Electric (SE) has recognised fourteen leading sales partners across Australia and New Zealand at the APC by Schneider Electric Channel Awards 2021/22.

Announced on Wednesday 27 July, the APC Channel Awards celebrate those across the APC Solution Portfolio for their excellence in sales and distribution, as well as leadership, innovation and value creation in the technology and data centre sector.

Of the fourteen voting categories, three of the distributor categories were open for voting from the channel community:

• Distributor – Best in Marketing Campaigns of the Year 2022
• Distributor Sales Champion of the Year 2022
• Distributor Technical Champion of the Year 2022

This year, new categories were added to the awards portfolio to recognise best-in-class APC partners and leaders across a greater range of sectors. New accolades this year include Most Sustainable Partner of the Year 2022, recognising the critical role that Schneider’s partners play in delivering a more resilient and sustainable world, and E-Commerce Partner of the Year 2022, rewarding excellence in online business technology.

“The extraordinary level of innovation, dedication, and commitment to excellence from Schneider’s channel partners has been nothing short of extraordinary in 2021 and 2022,” SE vice president of IT business & strategic segments Joe Craparotta says.

“We celebrate all the entrants for these awards, who highlighted their diligence across the year in the commitment to developing new solutions and creating excellent value for all clients.”
