Staples was honoured with not just one but two HP Partner of the Year Awards at the HP Reinvent: World Partner Forum.
The Massachusetts-based company was awarded US Partner to Watch and U.S. Supplies Partner of the Year, with both awards being presented to Staples at the HP Reinvent: World Partner Forum.
Over 1,400 HP partners attended this event, with Staples being one of only 50 to receive an award from the OEM. Selected partners were evaluated across a variety of criteria, including innovation, category leadership across print, PC and supplier, distributor and reseller categories.
“Our partnership with HP allows us to provide our customers with the best possible services and solutions, as proven through our recent commercial computing and print offerings including the next-generation A3 wide format multi-functional devices, and we look forward to continued alignment on strategy,” said Marty Robertson, vice president of Technology Solutions, Staples Business Advantage. “Being awarded U.S. Partner to Watch demonstrates Staples’ strong strategic relationship with HP and highlights our expertise in managed print services and commitment to growing our commercial hardware and services business.”
“Staples was chosen out of a select group of valued partners based on a variety of growth factors that were reviewed and ultimately determined by our channel leadership team,” said Stephanie Dismore, vice president and general manager, Americas Channels, HP. “Staples continues to be a strategic partner and HP’s largest supplies partner in the U.S. as well as HP’s top MPS partner. These awards are perfect examples of what happens when we focus on aligning goals, putting the customer first, and driving strategic growth together, as we did with Staples.”
