Muenster, Germany, 23 August 2022 – comdivision is a leading professional service organization within the VMware partner ecosystem and now the first and only with eight Master Service Competencies. comdivision is leading edge and an early adopter of the newest trends with the customer business outcome top of mind. Adding the SD-WAN Master Service Competency was a natural step after several successful deployments globally securing customers WAN infrastructure by also reducing costs. Holding all eight MSCs further positions comdivision as an innovative partner with demonstrable service delivery for customers based on deep expertise and capabilities.

VMware Master Service Competencies are a keypart of the VMware Partner Connect program. They recognize services-capable partners with delivery expertise and experience within a VMware solution area, with each one requiring validation by customers. comdivision now holds all eight: cloud management and automation, data center virtualization, digital workspace, network virtualization, VMware Cloud on AWS, cloud native, VMware Cloud Foundation and SD-WAN.

comdivision has identified continuous enablement of its own team but also their customer base as a key factor to success. Whilst not industry focused it was the first to deploy a production VMware Cloud customer in Germany, and did an early-stage global SD-WAN deployment which allowed for higher network excellence at the customer while massively reducing costs. Their VMware Workspace One and VMware Horizon use cases help some of the most critical industries, whilst they are currently helping a car manufacturer to move more than ten-thousand desktops into thecloud.

“VMware Master Service Competencies allow us to showcase to our customers the value we provide across the complete VMware portfolio from a skillset and customer success proof. Our constant investment in internal education and certification makes us one of the most requested partners for complex cloud deployments in EMEA and North America. This helps us address customers not only for on-premises, but more important on cloud deployments in managed environments,” says Christina Sandfort, COO, comdivision.

“Our customer-centric approach to architect, educate and operate provides our customers with a quick-win on multiple levels. Not only do we deploy faster than most other consulting organizations with our customizable, validated and standardized approach, we also deliver at a fixed price, meaning less surprises and faster adoption for our customers,” says Yves Sandfort, CEO, comdivision.

comdivision has aproven track record as an early adopter, previously being the first partner in EMEA to achieve 5 MSCs in EMEA and has won several awards for its early adoption of technologies and quality of service delivery.

“comdivision is a truly pioneering partner, and it is an incredible achievement to have secureda ll eight VMware Master Service Competencies,” said Petra Heinrich Liedtke, vice president, partner and commercial organisation, EMEA, VMware. “Navigating customers through a multi cloud world so that they realise real business advantage isn’t always straightforward and that’s why partners like comdivison are experts in their field. The knowledge and capabilities underpinning these certifications truly help customers utilize, simplify and optimize their technology investments over the entire customer lifecycle. comdivision provides real choice and scale to customers, ultimately helping drive greater profitability in its own business. We have had a partnership for more than 15 years, and long may it continue.”

“comdivision is a key part of our IT strategy in deploying VMware technologies over the last 10 years. Their team members integrate into our deployment plans and their unique and certified skillset in combination with the principal partner status allows us to be ahead of the curve and demand to digitize our business,” says Tobias Doehring – Solution Architect at Veka AG, a provider of PVC profile systems forwindows.
