Keystone Computer Group hopes to win big at this year’s Channel Network Awards, having made the shortlist in two categories. Regarded as the ICT Channel Oscars, Keystone is a finalist in the ‘Enterprise IT Solution’ category for its implementation at a high-end retailer and in the ‘SME IT Solution’ for its work at Leeds United Football Club.

Having won the Channel Network Awards for the best ‘Enterprise IT Solution’ in 2007 by delivering virtualisation and consolidation on IBM POWER architecture for multi-national retailer Blacks Leisure Group, Keystone Computer Group is looking to make it a dual celebration this year. The CNA shortlist recognises Keystone’s expertise in the ‘Enterprise IT Solution’ category again, this year for the successful implementation of IBM’s POWER Systems and Storage in consolidation of unsupported Oracle applications for a top UK retailer.

Keystone also proves its credentials in the ‘SME IT Solution’ category following the successful deployment of a Microsoft Windows 2003 domain in consolidation of legacy Novell servers for Leeds United Football Club. Leeds United’s IT Manager, Mark Broadley, comments, “I have been extremely impressed with Keystone’s capabilities both in a support and consultation capacity. Through their dedication and support they have assisted us to provide a stable and cost effective offering to our business.”

“To be shortlisted in two categories is a fantastic achievement,” says Keystone’s Sales Manager, Simon McAlpine. “It really does emphasise our ethos of providing true business solutions with a dedicated and professional team helping to solve ICT problems.”
