Clark IT has picked up a coveted award at the European conference of one of the world’s leading providers of IT solutions.
The Aberdeenshire-based firm is one of only two Scottish IT specialists to receive a golden Datto, a badge of honour that recognises it as a gold-standard managed service provider (MSP).
It was presented during Datto’s largest ever European partner convention that welcomed more than 850 tech leaders from 25 countries to Paris last month (October).
Each year, the Golden Datto awards are given to the best of the best among Datto’s partner community. This year, 21 awards were given across nine categories recognizing a range of talented, world-class Managed Service Providers.
Austen Clark, managing director of Clark IT said: “We have a long association with Datto, and I was delighted to join the Datto Hall of Fame and accept this honour.
“This award recognises the teamwork that goes into understanding our clients needs and providing outstanding IT support, cybersecurity and cloud solutions to a wide range of business customers in North-east Scotland and beyond.
“It was another excellent conference, with lots of opportunities for information sharing at what is a transformational time for our industry. Clark IT taking home a Golden Datto was the icing on the cake.”
Rob Rae, Vice President of Business Development at Datto commented: “Our partners are critical to the small and medium-sized business community, and we’re proud to honour the top performing partners with the Golden Datto awards at the event each year.
“We’re so excited for Clark IT for earning this award and demonstrating their commitment to growing their business and helping their clients succeed.
“This award recognizes those that have been an active partner with Datto since our early days, for their loyalty and long term partnership. Each year we recognize those that have been with us and stuck with us as our company grew to the industry leader we are today. Partners chosen for this award will be those with the earliest sign on date, that have maintained elevated status in our Global Partner Program.”
