Software vendor Citrix has awarded Platinum partner status, for the first time in four years, to UK reseller ISC.

The UK firm is just one of seven to have bagged Platinum status within Citrix’s Solutions Advisor partner programme.

The other Platinum partners are Centralis Ltd, Computacenter UK Ltd, Esteem Systems, Intercept IT Ltd, Point To Point and Vistorm.

Kevin Bland, Citrix’s channel director for UK & Ireland, said: “ISC has been working with Citrix for 12 years and has built up a strong working relationship, so it’s great to accredit them as a Citrix Platinum partner.

“ISC has shown great knowledge of Citrix’s product portfolio and this is further proof to the company’s customer base that ISC has the skills to deliver IT solutions with the right mix of business expertise and technical capability.”

Will Todd, solutions director at ISC, added: “The award of Platinum status shows that Citrix recognises our skills as being of the highest order and that’s great for our clients.

“Platinum not only recognises the breadth and depth of our technical skills, but it also enables us to develop them even further, with greater access to Citrix technical resources and preferential, pre-launch access to new releases. And that ensures we’re high up the learning curve when we’re advising our clients on them.”
