[Johannesburg, 16 January 2013] -

IT solution provider, Datacentrix, has been named as the local OpenText partner of the year for 2012, based on its exceptional revenue contribution for the financial year period.

According to Juane Peacock, MD of the Enterprise Content Management (ECM) business unit at Datacentrix, the award reinforces the company's strong focus on ECM and its continued success within this space.

"Datacentrix has achieved great success in the public and private sectors, and the three-year contract that was awarded to Datacentrix by the University of South Africa (UNISA) has contributed to us clinching the award," he explains. "The implementation, which involves the roll-out of OpenText's ECM Suite, will span the entire organisation of UNISA internally, as well as delivering capabilities to external stakeholders. The project kicked off in April this year."

Says Lenore Kerrigan, OpenText Country Sales Director for Sub-Saharan Africa: "OpenText believes that Datacentrix's breadth of knowledge and experience within our suite of solutions has made it a strategic partner within South Africa. The company has extended its OpenText expertise dramatically over the past few years, and we believe that this investment is certainly now paying off. Together, we are unleashing the power of information in South Africa."
