Around 150 guests from across Europe attended the event, which kicked off with a keynote speech from British astronaut Helen Sharman, who spoke about her journey into space in 1991.
Paul Harrison, managing director EMEA at Evolve IP, emphasised the importance of AI for partners. He said, “AI was one of the biggest takeaways from the day. We’re a cloud-first company but, like the space race, we’re not stopping there. We’re helping our partners go further, reach higher and succeed faster.”
Evolve IP’s UK sales director, Jamie Hughes, said of the event, “Our partner day wasn’t just an event, it’s a celebration of collaboration, innovation and the future of cloud technology. I truly believe we continue to set the benchmark on what we offer the Channel, providing a clear differentiation on solutions, support and value, with lots more to come.”
He added: “It’s about reinventing ourselves year-on-year and bringing more to market than ever before. This enables our partners to take advantage of more services to differentiate themselves and become more profitable.
“Our £600,000 network infrastructure investment, for example, elevates us to tier 4 status and provides a further competitive advantage to our customers. We also discussed the power of Evolve IP EMEA's open API, building a fully automated e-commerce platform from purchasing, provisioning to support. Furthermore, we’re also adding more countries to our international regulatory compliance landscape.”
Evolve IP’s head of marketing and communications (EMEA), Jennifer Howden‑Woodward, revealed a series of additional support and resource services with account-based, one-to-one and dedicated sales enablement opportunities.
She was followed by Evolve IP’s solutions director, Scott Rixon, and senior solutions consultant, Craig Newell, who outlined the company’s 2024 achievements, next steps (such as Anywhere Portal and training hub improvements) and AI-driven product enhancements, including a live AI call experience.
The event wrapped-up with an awards ceremony, networking, entertainment and a three-course dinner.
