With the all-embracing theme of 'Start Strong, Finish Strong' the event helped to enhance relations with channel partners along with Vertiv sales, channel, and service teams.
India [January 12, 2017] – Vertiv, formerly Emerson Network Power, announced the successful conclusion of its annual 'Annual India Sales, Service and Channel Conference FY 2017' in Goa. The conference was organized from December 16-19, 2016 with the theme "Start Strong, Finish Strong," and saw an attendance from over 360 participants, consisting of business partners and members from the Vertiv sales, service and channel teams across India.
The conference witnessed the grand launch of the new Vertiv brand at the hands of the Asia Pacific President, Stephen Liang. It saw attendance from top executives at Vertiv which included Stephen Liang, president – Asia Pacific; Terry Purcell, chief financial officer – Asia Pacific; Sunil Khanna, president and managing director – India; along with other senior management. This year's theme "Start Strong, Finish Strong," highlighted Vertiv's ability to scale new heights- by streamlining and simplifying processes, structure, and strengthening its position as an industry-leading infrastructure provider.
Stephen outlined the company's commitment to India and said, "India stands tall with the highest expected GDP growth rate for 2017 out of the eight countries that are expected to grow beyond the world average of 5 percent growth. With a growing impetus to digitization and a proliferation of broadband connectivity, India today is the cynosure of every investor and thus an important market for Vertiv. As a privately-held, standalone company, we have more flexibility to make business decisions and move quickly like a start-up."
Concluding the conference, Mr. Sunil Khanna, president and managing director for Vertiv in India presented his parting thoughts for 2017 saying, "Our focus for 2017 will be to march head-on while continuing to build upon our heritage and legacy as erstwhile Emerson Network Power, empowering vital applications for a digital world. We will work with our partners to showcase innovative solutions to address customer's needs around cloud computing, mobile networking and industrial applications. Vertiv will build on the broad portfolio of product and service o¬fferings for power, thermal and IT management capabilities we previously offered as Emerson Network Power, including our industry leading flagship brands ASCO®, Chloride®, Liebert®, NetSure™, and Trellis™."
Employees and business partners were felicitated for their exceptional performance through the year across several categories measuring sales performance, managerial competencies, and team-building capabilities. All attendees were also treated to a day filled with water sports and a gala dinner. These activities gave the participants an opportunity to let their hair down and interact with fellow employees, allowing for team bonding.
With a healthy and holistic exchange of ideas and thoughts between employees as well as channel partners, the Annual India sales, service and channel conference was announced as a grand success.
