Pasporte gets double vendor thumbs up

Private equity backed VAR catches accreditation fever after bagging Microsoft and VMware accolades

Sign of approval: Pasporte is scaling the partner ladder with two new vendors

Reseller Pasporte is celebrating bagging two new vendor accreditations after investing in its VMware and Microsoft expertise.

Pasporte, one of a number of VARs owned by private equity backed Acraman, has been awarded VMware's Service Provider Enterprise Partner accreditation. It will now be offering VMware products, services and licences into its customer base.

The Surrey-based reseller has also nabbed Microsoft Gold accreditation, gaining competencies in Advanced Infrastructure Solutions and Network Infrastructure Solutions. The Gold accreditation comes after a painstaking process involving the achievement of Microsoft qualifications as well as sales and customer reference targets.

Chief executive Gary Woodward said: "We are thrilled to be recognised in new partnerships with both Microsoft and VMWare. Investing in new vendors is essential in ensuring our customers benefit from the latest technologies and all these accreditations demonstrate and underline our capabilities as a trusted ICT partner.”
