Abilitec named Micromuse's first European Platinum Partner

Swindon based Abilitec, a comprehensive 'best of breed' software systems and training solutions provider, has become the first European organisation to achieve Micromuse's prestigious Platinum partner level. The Platinum status recognises Abilitec's technical expertise, depth of consulting support and proactive sales process, which continue to deliver impressive sales to a growing number of top UK companies.

Micromuse has three levels of channel partner status in the EMEA region - Silver, Gold and Platinum - which are based on net revenues and the channel partners' number of Netcool Certified Consultants.

"Abilitec is the first organisation to attain the stringent new criteria we have established for the top tier of our channel partners programme," said Mark Watson, Micromuse's Vice President, EMEA Sales. "The Platinum status reflects the drive, commitment and expertise of Abilitec's technical team. Abilitec is one of a growing number of Micromuse partners that understands the problems faced in today's complex network operations centres, and has the technical expertise to integrate computers, networks, and management solutions using Micromuse's Netcool suite."

Commenting on the award, Adrian Holcombe, Abilitec's Sales Director said: "We are exceptionally proud to be named by Micromuse as the first organisation to have achieved Platinum partner status. Having been trading just 18 months, we have established and grown our operation into one of Micromuse's top European business partners. This clearly demonstrates our ongoing commitment and ability to implement Micromuse's increasingly popular Netcool software."
