Evros, HP Preferred Partner

Evros, HP Preferred Partner

Evros The Computer Centre are proud to have become one of a small number of HP ‘Preferred Partners’ in 2007. HP have changed their entry requirement which has resulted in a small number of Preferred Partners in Ireland. This move by HP has significantly increased the technical entry requirements to the program and as such has allowed businesses easily identify partners who have invested in HP technology training and have the complete confidence and ability to deliver an end to end HP business solution. Evros as a HP Preferred Partner carries the certifications and specializations across the entire portfolio of the HP product range and can guarantee an unparalleled expertise on all customized and standard solutions.

"Evros are a key partner to HP. They have embraced the Preferred Partner Program and recognize that such a program enables them to offer increased business value to their customers. The Evros and HP partnership has proven to be a significant differentiator in the market place and has been instrumental to the growth of both businesses"
