One Identity EMEA Partner Awards 2020 -- WINNERS

One of the highlights of the year for One Identity is the Annual Partner Awards.  Usually, we coincide this with the EMEA UNITE Partner Conference, but this year since our event in Barcelona, Spain was postponed, we want to celebrate our 2020 award winners via our on-line blog.

In making the awards, we have considered partner activities throughout the past year to make our judgements.

We have seen considerable growth in partnerships in the past 12 months, with strong relationships forming in the GSI sector as well as advisory partners.   Our distribution strategy has seen impactful outcomes across many sub-regions within EMEA.
