Acclivis, a subsidiary of CITIC Telecom International, was awarded IBM’s Top Performing Business Partner for Hardware and Software while it celebrates its 10th anniversary this year.

IBM has been Acclivis’ key technology partner every step of the way, from its inception in 2009 to an established regional IT services organization that it is today. Within the first year of operation, Acclivis was awarded Significant Contributor for its speed of execution and implementation skills. The following year, Acclivis was selected to join IBM Privilege One, an ASEAN-wide program which recognized focused partners with deep skills in IBM server technology. Building on its sales and technical expertise on IBM server technologies, Acclivis rose to become the IBM Top Storage Partner in 2016.

By 2017, Acclivis was accorded the prestigious IBM Gold Partner status. Last year, Acclivis was inducted into the IBM Global Business Partner Advisory Council (GBPAC). The council membership includes senior IBM executives, and members of the GBPAC discuss strategy, plans, offerings and programs to drive growth, making them influential to help shape the next generation of IBM channel strategy.

This year, Acclivis won the IBM Top Performing Business Partner for Hardware and Software, the highest accolade for any business partner. This is a validation of Acclivis’ growth from a humble reseller to a formidable technology integrator and IT services provider.

“Our people are passionate about technology, particularly in helping clients on their digital journey with a cloud-first model and harnessing the most innovative technology to drive change and growth. Our transformation from a humble reseller to an IT services and technology integrator has been an exciting one. IBM has been working side by side with us all these years and we know, together, we will continue to soar and drive even greater growth,” Mr. Marcus Cheng, CEO, Acclivis.
