It has become an Orchid tradition to announce and present our annual North American Business Partner awards at TPAC. COVID has created havoc with our events calendar this year, including the postponement of TPAC, so we took the opportunity to announce the 2021 awards at this week's virtual Key Solutions Summit.
For the 3rd year running, the 'trophies' consist of framed panoramas by former Accpac trainer Jim Guthrie. We'll be liaising with the winners to arrange delivery.
And the 2021 winners are…
BUSINESS PARTNER OF THE YEAR: BAASS Business Solutions
This was the 10th successive year that BAASS Business Solutions Inc. has won the award for highest annual sales of Orchid products! Thanks again to all at BAASS for their continuing support.
It's also the 3rd Jim Guthrie panorama we've presented to them. We've gone with something a bit further afield, but still in our region - the spectacular Milford Sound in the Fiordland National Park of New Zealand's South Island.
PARTNER EXCELLENCE AWARD: Acumen Information Systems
We also like to recognize another partner who has made a significant contribution to our success over the past year. Florida-based Acumen Information Systems has been an enthusiastic supporter of our products, including developing innovative solutions designed around Orchid Extender, resulting in an impressive increase in sales.
For Acumen, we've chosen Jim's image of Sydney Harbour Bridge at sunrise, taken just down the hill from Orchid's North Sydney office.
