Sanderson wins prestigious IBM award for Europe

Sanderson RBS, part of the Sanderson Group plc, has been awarded the IBM Retail Store Solutions (RSS) Sales Leadership Achievement award for Europe. The award, one of only twelve presented in Europe, recognises the outstanding sales contribution from Sanderson RBS throughout 2008.

All IBM RSS partners compete for the European Sales Leadership award which is presented annually to the top performing solution providers. The award recognises outstanding contribution to the RSS brand and is only given to IBM Business Partners who generate significant business for IBM by promoting sales of IBM hardware and platforms.

Key to Sanderson achieving the award was the sale to Fenwick, the premier independent UK department store group. Sanderson won the contract to supply all ten stores with Retail-J, the web based application for central management and control of the retail estate. The contract included the replacement of 650 tills, sale of 850 licenses and supply of comprehensive support services. The implementation encompassed everything from software and hardware supply to configuration workshops, training, go-live support and decommissioning of the original hardware.

Sanderson continue to support existing clients such as La Senza, Tie Rack, Selfridges, Tottenham Hotspur and Wilkinson through unprecedented trading times, via the supply of hardware, software and professional services. By delivering first class solutions and service to clients, Sanderson help retailers achieve increased operational efficiency and competitive edge.

Glynn Catterall, Retail Store Solutions Manager for IBM commented on the success of Sanderson:
“This award recognises the continued contribution from Sanderson to the achievements of the IBM Retail Store Solutions brand - and their excellent work with Fenwick. Sanderson is able to combine a great solution with an experienced and professional team - this is clearly a winning combination!”

David Mahoney, Managing Director, Sanderson RBS concludes:
“We’re extremely honoured to receive this prestigious award from our valued business partner IBM. We always strive to be the best at what we do, so recognition from an industry partner means a great deal to myself and the team.”

The award was presented by Andrew Carr, IBM’s Retail Store Solutions Manager, at IBM Retail Store Solutions Business Partner University in May this year.
