St. Louis, MO – February 16, 2021 – World Wide Technology, a market-leading $13.4 billion technology solutions provider, today announced it won the Riverbed CEO Partner of the Year. The awards were presented at the Riverbed Sales Kick Off event. The Riverbed Partner Awards recognized partners for excellence in driving business results and in helping customers maximize performance and visibility of networks and applications in a year where organizations modernized and accelerated cloud and work-from-anywhere models due to the global pandemic.

Innovation and a spirit of culture and partnership underpin our relationship with WWT. WWT's business with Riverbed has grown steadily over the past few years to allow us to leverage the many areas of technical, sales and service that differentiate WWT among our partner ecosystem. Riverbed is increasingly engaging WWT at their top global accounts and consistently leverages WWT's global supply chain and Advanced Technology Center skillsets with all our joint customers.   

Moving into 2021, Riverbed's early alignment with WWT's Customer Engagement (Enterprise Agreements and Adoption Services) team on key, targeted customers and an increased focus on services via their Riverbed lab (Acceleration and NPM) buildouts will help amplify significant contractual opportunities that can help transform our focus on our joint customer's success and our business overall.   

"With this award, we congratulate WWT's performance and achievements as a Riverbed partner and an instrumental member of our partner program community," said Dan Smoot, Chief Operating Officer at Riverbed. "The Riverbed Partner Awards celebrate our partners' successes and exemplify how together we deliver industry-leading solutions that provide greater visibility and performance into networks and applications from anywhere, while helping to address IT complexity.
