Zscaler has recognised the efforts of its top partners from across Australia and New Zealand (A/NZ) for 2024 at its annual partner of the year awards.
Awarded during the Zscaler Partner Summit and Awards Ceremony in Sydney on 17 September, the accolades highlight standouts from the vendor’s channel ecosystem that have “demonstrated exceptional performance, innovation and commitment to delivering value to customers”.
Telstra was crowned Zscaler’s A/NZ Partner of the Year for “consistently exhibiting exceptional dedication to customer satisfaction, surpassing expectations and delivering outstanding results”, Zscaler said.
Meanwhile, Crowdstrike won the Technology Alliance of the Year award for integration depth, the nature of its collaboration, the benefits and results achieved and “overall impact on the industry or market”.
Deloitte won Transformation Partner of the Year for playing what Zscaler referred to as a “pivotal role” in driving transformations for its clients.
“Deloitte has shown an exceptional ability to help our customer organisations navigate complex changes, whether it’s through digital transformation, business process reengineering, or other strategic initiative,” Zscaler said.
Additionally, Solution Provider of the Year went to Optus, Sekuro scored Service Partner of the Year, Morfit Group Consulting nabbed Commercial Partner of the Year and The Missing Link was handed Growth Partner of the Year.
Foad Farrokhnia, Zscaler vice president for channels and alliances for Asia Pacific and Japan, said the winners’ “dedication, innovation and commitment to customer success truly distinguish them”.
“We congratulate all the winners and look forward to continuing these partnerships to advance zero trust adoption in Australia and New Zealand,” he added.
Zscaler’s partner awards came took place days before Farrokhnia spoke with ARN about the changes Zscaler has made to its channel program to bolster support for resellers looking to add managed services to their business.
