We were thrilled to be announced as the Top Distributor of the Year by our strategic partner, Grafana Labs at their 2021 GrafanaCONline partner awards.

Christina Gillman, Worldwide Channel Sales Manager at Grafana Labs said

‘The flexibility and intuitiveness of the team to help facilitate and close deals has been a real pleasure to see. We know there is so much more we can do together, and I very much look forward to that growth.’

In partnership with ASM, Grafana Labs supports organisations’ monitoring, visualization and observability goals through an open and composable platform built around Grafana. Grafana dashboards are the world’s most adopted operational dashboards with millions of users and hundreds of thousands of organisations. The unique value is that data can be rendered without moving the core source and data can be combined and correlated like no other solution.

Earlier in the year, way back before social distancing was even a thought in our minds, ASM exhibited at Computacenter’s global kick off in Manchester.

Over the years the event has become a real focus for Computacenter as it allows one point a year where every salesperson at the company can get together. The reasons for this are clear. Firstly to celebrate the success of the previous year, whilst also to discuss and plan for the year ahead. It gives a unique opportunity to gain a deep understanding of the strategy of the business and ensure the support is there to achieve those goals.

Just as importantly, the event is also a great time to meet up with vendor partners and account managers to build on relationships. That’s where ASM comes in. As the appointed Preferred Partner for Non-Focus products for Computacenter Group we work hard to support software, services and hardware requirements that are not available through broadline distribution.

The global kick off is an invitation only event for Computacenter’s partners who add the most value and have become an integral part of their business so here at ASM we were extremely proud to receive our invitation.

Over the course of the two-day event we had an extremely busy, central stand with over 700 visitors from the UK, France, Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands and the USA. This kind of event offers our account management team invaluable time with contacts from these countries while continuing to build upon our relationships within Benelux and the US.

Simon Keilty, Business Development Manager for Computacenter, said

“the event is best opportunity to meet different people from around the business and understand their challenges for the coming year and seeing how we can best support them”.

For this event we shared the experience with some of our key strategic partners and were able to showcase disruptive and innovative technology direct to the wider sales team.

We really appreciate the chance to be involved in an event such as the Group Kick Off and we’re looking forward to next year’s event already.

Connecting our customers to innovative and disruptive technologies.

Held at the Old Trafford stadium in Manchester, ASM Connect 2020 was a one-day exhibition, to showcase just a few of our strategic partners and the innovative and disruptive technologies we can provide.

Our visitors were given an exclusive tour of the football ground which was a key moment for many of the football fans in attendance. For us, the event provided a fantastic opportunity to communicate our key brand messages and display ASM Technologies’ and strategic partners throughout the ground and the event.

At ASM we deliver an infinite number of suppliers, many of whom would be seen as weirdware or niche. An event such as ASM Connect 2020 brings these suppliers straight to the customer so they can learn about innovative technology first-hand. For this event we hosted Opswat, LogMeIn, Jamf, Nitro, Subsidium, Forum Systems, Endace and Blancco. We had some great feedback from the event with one supplier telling us it was the most useful networking event they had ever been to.

The event was thoroughly enjoyed by all and we are already looking at where we can host ASM Connect 2021.

On 5^th September, ASM and LogMeIn took part in the Atos Charity Golf Event held at Trump Turnberry.

Now in its 19^th year, the event has generated much needed funds for various charities including Great Ormond Street Hospital and Children’s Hospice Across Scotland. This year’s event was held to raise money for The Prince’s Trust and The Paul Lawrie Foundation and raised c£160k.

 “A fantastic course, played with great company for a good cause”
