Microsoft has named Rhipe, NTT Data and Adobe Systems as its top Asia-Pacific partners at its inaugural Asia-Pacific partner awards for 2020. Rhipe was awarded APAC Services Partner of the Year while NTT Data was named Global Systems Integrator (GSI) Partner of the Year. Adobe Systems took home the Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Partner of the Year award. Each winner edged out four other finalists, with each winner demonstrating “business leadership” in the APAC region, according to the global software giant. Microsoft APAC general manager of One Commercial Partner Vivek Puthucode said, “Each year, we recognize and celebrate the achievements of our partner community in each of the countries that we operate in Asia Pacific. Yet, the reality is that many of our partners are replicating the customer and community success they deliver in one country to another – sometimes to many more.”
