Viglen, a British IT company, has been awarded Toshiba UK\u2019s Platinum Partner of the Year and Education Platinum Partner of the Year, in recognition of its all-round performance and commitment to excellence within its Toshiba partnership and also its specialism within the Education market.<\/p>\n

Achieving Platinum partner status is recognition by Toshiba of a level of excellence at reselling Toshiba products and consistently adding value to the relationship. The award winners were judged by Toshiba as demonstrating a level of excellence at not just reselling Toshiba products, but consistently adding value to the relationship through product knowledge, support, aftersales and integration services to enhance the Toshiba customer experience.<\/p>\n

Viglen has grown its partnership with Toshiba from scratch over less than a decade to become one of the largest Toshiba resellers in the UK.\u00a0 As a result Viglen customers are benefitting from enhanced levels of support, expertise and resources, reducing the cost and simplifying the process of ICT procurement.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the award, Viglen chief executive Bordan Tkachuk said; \u201cAs a PC manufacturer, Viglen benefits from a very close level of partnership with Toshiba.\u00a0 By pioneering a range of unique support and value-add services, Viglen is able to offer a level of bespoke service to enhance Toshiba\u2019s already strong product portfolio, ensuring that together we offer one of the strongest mobile computing propositions available with justified performance, flexibility and value.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis has undoubtedly helped in consolidating our position as a leading ICT supplier to the UK Education and Public Sector.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
