DATEC rugby winners

The Fiji National Provident Fund and Air Pacific won the DATEC Fiji’s 2011 IBM Rugby World Cup promotion launched last year.

Each winning organisation receives ticket for one to the RWC match between Fiji and Samoa in New Zealand.

They will also have free accommodation and attend special dinner after the game hosted by Datastore in New Zealand.

DATEC chief executive officer Hans Danford said customers who basically bought IBM server products worth over $5000 from DATEC during the promotion, automatically qualified for the draw; one ticket for every $5000 spent.

“The uniqueness of this promotion was that because our clients are businesses and organisations, entries were made under the company’s name and not individual,” he said.

Danford said the onus was with the winning body or company to nominate their representative to go to the RWC match.

Approximately 320 entries were entered from 15 clients.

DATEC sales manager Avinesh Krishna said this was a joint marketing promotion between DATEC and Datastore on purchase of any IBM product.

Datastore, is a Westcon Group Company and is one of DATEC’s preferred supplier for IBM products into Fiji and DATEC is the only IBM Premier Business Partner for Fiji being the only authorised service centre.
