Dear Partner, As the year wraps up, I want to express my sincere thanks for your steadfast partnership and support throughout 2023. 2023 held particular significance as blueAPACHE marked its 25th anniversary. Reaching this quarter-century milestone allowed me to reflect on our journey towards the vision of ITaaS. What began as a technology venture led by technologists has evolved into a people-centric business delivering outcomes through technology. In our ongoing commitment to your security, we made substantial investments in our network and services in 2023, bolstering security measures and enhancing product offerings for greater agility in meeting your evolving needs. Moreover, our credibility in delivering on our promise was acknowledged with 7 key industry accolades, including the ARN Innovation Awards 2023 ‘Partner Value – Mid-Market’ for the fifth consecutive year and the prestigious Canalys APAC Innovation of the Year award. These achievements solidify blueAPACHE’s position as Australia’s most awarded mid-market IT service provider. Accepting these industry accolades is truly humbling and reflects the dedication of our team—nearly 300 strong—working around the clock to deliver business-critical IT telecommunication services, empowering our partners to achieve their goals. Our culture and values underpin our success; our partners aren’t just records in a CRM; you are part of our family, shaping blueAPACHE into who we are today. Building a multigenerational business, we take pride in the positive change we bring to empower your own client communities, and our mission at blueAPACHE is to foster relationships for life. As organisations rebound from COVID, our focus on customer intimacy and workforce culture remains paramount. With more of our staff returning to the office full time, we look forward to conducting more in-person meetings in the new year. Thank you for continuing to place your trust in blueAPACHE to enable your organisation to deliver on your promise. On behalf of the entire blueAPACHE team, I wish you, your colleagues, and your family a safe, healthy end to the year filled with lots of positivity as we step into the new year together. We look forward serving you in 2024! Cheers, Chris Marshall
